    It takes the thief to catch the thief

    A late thrive is better than never do well

    It wishes were horses sure beggars would ride

    The harder the frost the nearer the thaw

    You'll never miss the water to the well goes dry

    Bad weeds grow fast

    Money talks

    Never leave off till to-morrow what you can do to-day

    When the cat's away the mice can play
