    1 "Health is better than wealth".
    2 You never miss the water until the well runs dry.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Shut the stable door before the steed is stolen.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    There is no cure for death.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    A relapse is worse than the first sickness.
