Puzzle 681 


During the recent BrainBashers cipher convention, a Morse code contest took place.

The contest consisted of a Morse code transmission where the spaces between the letters and words were missing.

Can you decipher the sequence and find the well known proverb?

----..--.-------..-..-.-.-.-........-....-.....--.----......-.
Luckily, BrainBashers has provided you with a list of the Morse code characters:
