  1. A stitch in time saves nine.
    You'll never miss the water until the well runs dry.
    Empty vessels makes the greatest sound.
    Health is better than wealth.
    Penny wise is often found foolish.
    Liars ought to have good memories.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    He who slings mud is losing ground.
    The longest way round is the shortest way home.
    Work is better than talk.
    An idle person tempts the devil.
