My first may be a group eager to get inside
My second is prized for what grows on its hide
My third, in the skull does reside
My fourth goes up and down with the tide
My fifth has water on every side

I had a History professor whose hobby was famous proverbs. Since he had a know-it-all attitude, I decided to challenge him one day. I made a little wager that he couldn’t decipher my proverbs. I fooled him by using synonyms.

1. Greater delayed than not ever.
2. Don’t dillydally till nevermore what you can do in present.
3. Disuse not, crave not.
