[Marry in haste, repent in leisure
[The grass always looks greener on the other side
[An ounce of breeding is worth a ton of feeding
[A hen always dies in debt
[Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
[All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
[While the cats away, the mice will play
[A rolling stone gathers no moss
[Empty vessels make most noise
[Still waters run deep

[snaptoo]

There was a little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead,
When she was good she was very very good and when she was bad she was horrid!

It's part of a poem written by Longfellow Snaptoo...I remember it well.
