  1. Think twice before you speak.
    Look before you leap.
    Better is an ass that carries you than a horse that throws you.
    Wise and good men make the laws and fools break them.
    A wisp of straw best shows how the wind blows.
    Don't sell your hens on a rainy day.
    You would think little of a fly
    until he gets under your eye.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    You will never miss the water till the well runs dry.
    Don't throw out the dirty water until the clean comes in.
