    Proverbs
    make hay while the sun shines
    Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other
    Procrastination is the thief of time
    Be slow to promise and quick to perform
    A ripe old age unconscious of decay
    He that by the plough would thrive
    himself must either, hold or drive
    As good to be out of the world as out of the fashion
    A penny wise a pound foolish
