    A stitch in time saves nine.

    It is long lane but has a turn.

    Birds of feathers flock together.

    A wise man carries his coat.

    Two eyes are better than one.

    He locked the door when the horse was stolen.

    Blood is thicker than water.

    Long runs the fox but he is caught at last.

    Your best friend is your pocket.
