    Old Sayings.
    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.
    A fool and his money is easy parted
    Fools makes feasts for wise men to eat them.
    Beg for a beggar and you will never be rich.
    Its never too late to mend.
    Its a bad wind that does not favour some body.
    The devil gets a word from an idles.
