    9 Never do anything at night that you'll be sorry for in the morning.
    10 There is no place like home; if you only have a table and a chair, you know you are always welcome there.
    11 Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    12 For age and want save while you may, No morning sun lasts a day.
    13 Look before you leap.
    14 Never rise too high for fear of a fall.
    15 In the want of a nail the shoe was lost. In the want of a shoe the horse was lost, All was in the want of a horse-shoe nail.
    16 Time nor tide waits for no man.
    17 A good beginning is half the work.
    18 Never go the byroad while you go the highroad.
