    He that lives in a glass house should not throw the first stone

    All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
    A good beginning is half the work
    Fools make feasts and wise men eat them
    Dig deep while sluggards sleep and you shall have corn to sell and to keep.
    The brighter the moon shines the more the dog howls
    A watched pot never boils
