Adage: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of care.

Easy. But can you figure out the rest? If you can leave an answer or two. Do you recognize these well known adages? I will post the answers the day before Thanksgiving. 1. All articles that coruscate with resplendence are not truly auriferous. 2. Sorting on the part of mendicants must be interdicted. 3. Male cadavers are incapable of rendering any testimony. 4. Neophite’s serendipity. 5. A revolving litho conglomerate accumulates no congeries of small, green, bio-phytic plant. 7. Members of an avian species of identical plumage tend to congregate. 8. Pulchritude possesses solely cutaneous profundity. 9. Freedom from incrustations of grime is contiguous to rectitude. 10. It is fruitless to become lachrymose of precipitately departed lacteal fluid. 12. Eschew the implement of correction and vitiate the scion. 13. The stylus is more potent than the rapier. 14. It is fruitless to attempt to indoctrinate a superannuated canine with innovative maneuvers. 15. Surveillance should precede hurdling. 16. Scintillate, scintillate, asteroid minim. 17. The person presenting the ultimate cachinnation possesses thereby the optimal cachinnation. 18. Exclusive dedication to necessitous chores without interludes of hedonistic diversion renders John a hebetudinous fellow. 19. Individuals who make their abodes in vitreous edifices would be advised to refrain from catapulting petrious projectiles. 20. Where there are visible vapors having their provenance in ignited carbonaceous materials, there is conflagration.
