    71-----The road to hell is paved with good intentions
  
  Like talking, intending is not doing. Actions matter far more than intentions. Actions determine where a person ends up.
  
  72-----Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today
  
  Doing is better than waiting. If you wait, you might lose your opportunity
  
  73-----Action speak louder than words
  
  To know people's hearts, pay more attention to what they do than what they say.
  
  74-----Idle hands are the devil's workshop
  
  When people have nothing constructive1 to do, they get into mischief2. The child who is bored may pick up a crayon and color on the wall, something that would not happen if the child were happily occupied in some other activity.
  
  75-----You've got to take the bull by the horns
  
  Grab directly and fearlessly for the toughnest part of a problem. Don't look for an easy way out.
  
  76-----Money doesn't grow on trees
  
  You have to work for things. Success does not come on its own.
  
  77-----Easy come, easy go
  
  If you have received something without working for it, it may soon be gone. You will not be as careful with it as you will be with something you earned.
  
  78-----Too many cooks spoil the broth3
  
  Individual action or action by the smallest group possible is better than consulting a lot of people. Too much consultation4 will waste time and create problems.
  
  79-----Stand on your own two feet
  
  Grow up; act like an adult. Don't ask me to do something for you. This may be said to a young or immature5 person who depends too much on others. It is like a cow kicking a grown calf6 that wants to suckle.
  
  80------If you want something done right, do it yourself
  
  This discourages people from trusting anyone except themselves. It maybe said to someone who ask another person to do a job for him/her and then complains about it was done.
