    One good turn deserves another.
    Where there is a will there is a way.
    Look before you leap.
    Happy is the bride that the sun shines on and happy is the corpse that the rain rains on.
    Time and tide wait for no man.
    He has too many irons in the fire some one must cool.
    Prevention is better than cure.
    Pride feels no pain.
    An old saying and a true one, the dirt goes before the broom.
    You never miss the water till the well goes dry.
    A main pot never boils fair.
    Two heads are better than one.
    A little pot is soon hot.
