    Anyone that says 'what' can hear
    He would steal the bobbins of a hearse.
    You can't take feathers of a frog.
    'Time enough' lost the ducks.
    Do not leave for to-morrow what you can do to-day.
    One to-day is worth two to-morrows.
    No news is good news.
    Think twice before you speak.
    See, hear, and say nothing.
