    Old Sayins
    It is an old saying that hills are green far away.
    Your pocket is your best friend.
    Look before you leap.
    Where the cat gets milk he will stick to it.
    It is never too late to mend.
    A fool and his money is easily parted.
    It is a bad wind that does not favour some body.
    Fools makes feasts for wise men to eat them.
    The devil gets a word from an idalor.
