  1. Social
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
    Appearances are deceitful.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Necessity is the mother of Invention
    Union is strength.
    Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    He that graspeth at too much is sure to lose all.
    Never take the book by the cover
    Too many cooks spoil the broth
    When the cat is out, the mouse is dancing.
    One good turn, deserves another.
    Always put by something for the rainy day.
    Rome was not built in a day.
    Acts speak louder, than word.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    Work while you work.
    Play while you play.
    This is the way to be happy and gay.
    He that buys a house for ready-wrought.
    Hath many a pin and nail for nought.
