    Proverbs
    Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
    He that goes a borrowing goes sorrowing.
    Two heads are wiser than one. Keep the shop and the shop will keep you.
    He is a good man that minds his own business.
    A handful of March dust is worth a handful of gold.
    March winds, and April showers bring forth May flowers.
    Wet and windy May, fills the haggard with corn and hay.
    Look before you leap.
    A stitch in time, saves nine.
    Never throw dirty water out until you get in clean.
    Children or fools should not play with edged tools. Extravagant in youth makes want in
