  1. There is no place like home
    Still water runs deep
    The old dog for the long road
    Manners begin at the hearthstone
    A rolling stone gathers no moss
    Old birds are not caught with chaff
    On his own saddle one rides safest
    No road is long with good company
    Often a man is his own worst enemy
    Change lays not her hands upon truth
    Discontent is a want of self-reliance
    Things rashly undertaken end as ill
    Plain speech is better that much wit
    When two quarrel both are to blame
    He who covers wit disdains to wait
    Absence makes the heart grow fonder
