- Theres 2 sides on every story.
When the cat is out, the mice play.
Blood is thicker than water.
Its hard to put a old head on young shoulders.
A little, and to say it well.
After a storm comes a calm.
Better be born lucky than rich.
No news is good news.
Better have potatoes and salt and peace.
March - many weathers.
A wise head keeps a shut mouth.
Every one to his own taste.
Die roaring like Manus Moran's ass.
February fill dyke.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
I'd rather be an ass to a cockleman.
At it like two at a herring.
A handful of March dust is worth a king's ransom.
As curious as a cat.(continues on next page)
