  1. If you don't show, you won't sell
    Neither wise men or fools can work without tools
    Empty vessels make the most sound
    Far away hills are always green
    You can't put an old head on young shoulders.
    You can't make a race horse out of an ass.
    You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
    Birds of a feather flock together.
    All that glitters isn't gold.
    Look before you leap.
