  1. A watch pot never boils.
    The more hurry the less speed.
    You will never miss the water until the well runs dry.
    Growing old growing worse.
    It is a long lae but has no turning.
    If you cannot do a thing right it is better not to do it at all.
    Between two stools you fall to the ground.
    One trouble never comes alone.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    You are taller standing like a dog sitting.
