    The people long ago used these old sayings.
    The day of the storm is not the day of the scollop.
    The early bird catches the early snail.
    No storm comes but favours someone.
    A person must catch the hare before he makes the soup.
    It is better to go to bed supperless than to rise in debt.
    Pride always has a fall.
    The help of God is nearer than the door.
