The sun will shine into our yard too.

**********

After a storm fair weather, after sorrow joy.

All cats are grey at night.

**********

Every seed knows its time.

**********

The one who draws the cart is urged on.

**********

All is well that ends well.

All is not gold that glitters.

**********

Better late than never.
