Dumber than a box of rocks is simply saying that someone is just plain stupid.

Make hay while the sun shines means that when things are going well, keep at it because the good things could suddenly stop.

8. Preserve it until there is precipitation for a 24 hour cycle.

Answer: Save it for a rainy day.

Save it for a rainy day means that if you have an abundance of money or something, don't waste it all because you may need some when things aren't going so well.

9. Refrain from physical movement and enjoy the aroma of the perennial flowering plants of the family Rosaceae.

Answer: Stop and smell the roses.

Stop and smell the roses means that in the day to day rat race that you are trying to win, you forget about the little pleasures in life and you should pause once in a while to enjoy life.

10. All things that ascend, will surely descend.

Answer: What goes up must come down.

What goes up must come down means that no matter how good things are going, at some time a little bad has to happen. Like the Lynn Anderson song "Rose Garden" says: "Along with the sunshine, there got to be a little rain sometimes".
