  1. Early to bed, early to rise, makes a healthy, wealthy, and wise.
    When the cat is out, the mice can play.
    He is a good horse that carries his own load.
    The nature breaks out through the eyes of the cat.
    Two shorten's a road.
    A fool has his own sense.
    Long threating comes at last.
    "I saw you before" said the cat to the boiling milk.
    One sheep knows another.
    It is often the greed gets the better of itself.
    Many hands make light work.
    Don't judge a book by the cover.
    If you have only a goat be in the middle of the fair.
    Only for something the dog would eat the tongs.
    Your pocket is your best friend.
    Two are company, but three are a crowd.
    A lie has no legs.
