    Old Saying
    A person often cuts a rod which will best himself.
    Don't judge the first story until the seacond story catches up on you.
    If you don't sow in Spring, you won't reap in Autumn.
    A good word never broke a persons mouth.
    Lie with the lamb and rise with the bird.
    A full purse makes a light heart.
    Your pocket is your friend.?
    Health is better that wealth.
    Time and tide wait for no man.
    Tell me your company and I will know who you are.
