  191-----Let bygones be bygones
          Do not bring up an old problem. Pretent it never happened.
          192-----Two wrongs don't make a right
          If someone does a wrong to you, react with justice, not by doing something
vicious. (He did wrong to you, but you do right in response.
          193-----Crime does not pay
          Though crime appears to have benefits, this is an illusion. for example,
shoplifting seems like an easy way to get things one wants, but crime always
puts the criminal in danger of punishment.
          194-----So far so good
          Said by or to someone who is carrying out a plan taking one step at a time.
Confidence increases with each step.
          195-----Two is company and three is a crowd
          This may be used when two people are talking and a third, unwanted person
approaches.
          196-----Innocent untill proven guilty
          In a court of law, the accused person is presumed innocent at the start.
The burden of proof always rests on the accuser, not the accused. The jury will
not convict the person unless the proof is clear.
          197-----The devil made me do it
          I am not to blame for what I did. I could not help it. Some power outside
of me was forcing me to act in that way. This is playfully used as an excuse by
people who know they have done something wrong but want to avoid the
penalty.
          198-----Home is where the heart is
          Home is wherever ones loved ones are. The size or appearance of a house
does not make it a home or keep it from being a home.
          199-----Time and tide wait for no man
          When something's time has come, it will happen and nothing can stop it. It
is like an ocean tide coming in to the shore.
          200-----Home, sweet home
          This phrase reminds people of the ideal home--It should be a place of
warmth, love and joy.
