    An apple in the day keeps the doctor away. A stitch in time saves none. Laugh and the world laughs with you weep and you weep alone. A rainbow in the morning is the shepherd's warning. A rainbow at night is the shepherd's delight. Where the heart lies the eyes wander. Silks and satins often put out the kitchen fire. A half a loaf is better than no bread. Who ever the cat looks at first after washing her face they will die. Fools build a house for wise men to live in. You never miss the water till the well runs dry. Better late than never.
