  1. Smooth waters run deep.
    Youth never comes a second time.
    There are no gains without pains
    Too many cooks spoil the broth
    The idle man tempts the devil
    Your pocket is your best friend always
    Early to bed and early to rise make a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
    Whatever you have to do,
    Do it with all your might,
    Things that are only half done,
    Are never done right.
    The path of glory leads, but to the grave
    The pen is mightier than the sword
    Opposition is the life of trade
    It is a very long road that has no turn
    Many hands make light work.
    As the old cock crow the young cock learns.
    There is many a slip between the cup and the lip
    Let you call the tune and I will pay the piper
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
