    Proverbs
    A wise head keeps a quiet tongue
    A good name is better than great riches
    An hour in the morning is worth two at night
    A burnt child dread the fire
    A small leak will sink a great ship
    You never know the want of water till the well runs dry
    A penny for your thoughts
    The sight of you is good for sore eyes
    Better late than never
    Saying and doing are two things
