    harvest.
    Man proposes but God disposes.
    Action speaks louder then words.
    Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    Everybody's business is nobody's business
    Practice makes perfection.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    The truth can be blamed but never can be shamed.
    Your pocket is your friend.
    When the cat is out the mice can play.
    Health is better than wealth.
    Laziness is a heavy load.
    Hunger is good sauce.
    A good beginning is half the work.
    Better late then never.
    It's never too late to mend.
