- A penny for your thoughts.
The sight of you is good for sore eyes.
A fellow feeling makes one wondrous kind.
Immodest word admit of no defence.
For want of decency is want of sence.
He who slings mud is losing ground.
Better late than never.
Saying and doing are two things.
After a storm comes a calm.
On their merits modest men are dumb.
Facts are stubborn things.
As good to be out of the world as out of the fashion.
Let a beggar on horseback and he'll outride the devil.
The longest way round is the shortest way home.
A empty bag cannot stand up right.
A penny wise and a pound foolish.
