2. Old Proverbs

   A wrinkled purse a wrinkled face.
   Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
   A lie has no legs.
   It is better late than ever.
   A stitch in time saves nine.
   Between two stools I came to the ground.
   A penny saved is a penny gained.
   Before you marry be sure of a house wherein to tarry.
   Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
   A half loaf is better than no bread.
   He that loveth the danger shall perish therein.
   The longest war round in the shortest way home.
