  1. It is a long lane which has no turning.
    Many hands make light work.
    God helps those who help themselves.
    Don't worry - it may never happen.
    The early bird catches the early worm.
    Saturday's moon comes a day too soon.
    What could you expect from a pig but a grunt.
    Two heads are better than one.
    When the world frowns on you the sun shines on you.
    There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.
    When all fruit fails, welcome haws.
