- If a joke you cannot take, then a joke you should not make.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
We never miss the water till the well runs dry.
Penny wise and pound foolish.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
You cannot squeeze blood out of a turnip.
Rome was not built in a day.
Too many maids spoil the broth.
Green are the hills far away.
When the fox cannot find bread, he must eat moss.
A liar should have a good memory.
If you want a ting done do it yourself.
Better go to bed supperless than rise in debt.
The nearer the bone, the sweeter the meat.
Like father like son.
Despise school and remain a fool.
Chip of the one block.
Foreign cows have long horns.
We never miss the water till the well well runs dry.
Too many cooks spoil the broth and too many colours spoil the cloth.
Send a goose to Dover and a goose she will come over.
