  1. Wilfull wast makes woefull want.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    Keep a firm grip or your home steads.
    Large ships may venture far, but little boats should keep near shore.
    Far away cows have long horns.
    Handsome is who handsome does.
    Beauty wouldn't boil the pot.
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy and wise, late to bed and late to rise makes a man beg before he dies.
    Every man has his price.
