  1. Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    One natural tooth is worth twenty false ones.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Ripping and sowing keeps many a one going.
    A greedy person in grasping at more often loses all.
    We should look before we leap.
    Youth is bold but age is wise.
    One look in front is better that two looks behind.
    Laziness is a heavy load.
