  1. Better alone than in bad company.
    Better slip with the foot than with the tongue.
    Be slow to promise quick to perform.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,
    A stitch in time saves mine.
    Have it yourself or be with out it.
    If your neighbor has it don't be short.
    There are good goods in small parcels.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    Neverleave till to morrow
    what you can do today.
    Better live in hopes, than die in despair.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    If a jest you cannot take, then a jest you should not make.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
