December's Unwelcome Cousin

Pay now or pay later.
Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.
As you sow, so shall you reap.
Give someone enough rope and they will hang themselves.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner.
Rome was not built in a day.
If a job’s worth doing it’s worth doing well.
Silence gives consent.
Man does not live by bread alone.
