    hands make light work. The darkest hour is before the dawn.
    Little dogs have long tails.
    A shut mouth catches no flies
    Beauty is only skin deep.
    Running with the hare and hunting with the hound. When the cats away the mice can play. Make hay when the sun shines.
    What is to be will be.
    Man proposes but God disposes
