  1. A rolling stone gather no moss.
    Far away hills look green
    When all speak no one is heard.
    Its time enough to bid the devil good morrow until you meet him.
    Its hard to put an old head on young shoulders.
    Say little and say it well.
    Make the hay when the sun is shining
    There is no use crying over spilled milk.
    Its a long road there not a turn in
    Self praise is no accomadation
    Take me with you and you'll want no stick.
    You'll never miss the water until the well runs dry.
    Don't the chickens until they are
