    Old Sayings.
    Hail fellow well met.
    A penny for your thoughts.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Early to bed,early to rise ,makes a man healthy ,wealthy and wise.
    Better late than ever.
    Saying and doing are two things.
    After a storm comes a calm.
    Those that the cap fits ,let them wear it.
    Virtue shows as well in rags, and patches as well as she does in purple and fine linen.
    God helps those who help themselves.
    Plough deep ,while sluggards sleep ,and you will have corn to sell and to keep.
    A Penny wise and a pound foolish.
    A soiled shirt and unpolished boots would make a beggar of a gentleman.
