"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
"Make hay while the sun shines"
"You can't work on an empty stomach"
"We reap what we sow"
"Let nature take its course"
"Waste not want not", "A stitch in time saves nine"
"Can't see the woods for the trees"
"Many hands make light work"
"The bigger they are the harder they fall", "Slow and steady wins the race"
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket"
"Dont' think you are on the right track just because it is a well beaten path"
"Vision is not seeing things as they are, but as they will be"
