   2/
   Empty vessels make the most sound.
   Harvest sun goes down like a stone in a bog hole.
   February fills the dikes and March dries them.
   The early bird catches the early worm
   A wise man carries his coat on a fine day.
   A persons' mouth often got his nose broken.
   A rolling stone gathers no moss.
   Work is better than talk.
   It is too late to spare, when all is spent.
   Lose an hour in the morning and you will be all day hunting it.
   Smooth water runs deep.
   Where there is a will there is a way.
   Your pocket is your friend.
   Willful waste makes woeful want.
   Thinking is bad wit.
