    Proverbs.
    A good neighbour is better than a far away friend.
    Willful waste makes woeful want.
    A closed mouth make a wise head.
    As no questions and you will be told no lies
    Look before you leap.
    Many hand make light work.
    Young a gambler old a debtor.
    Idleness is the key of beggary.
    Hold fast to that which is good.
    Put not your trust in princes.
