    (continued from previous page)
    Blood is thicker than water.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    Live! old horse, and you will get grass.
    Bread is the staff of life.
    A man's house is his castle.
    A short horse is easy curried.
    Borrowed horses have hard hooves.
    An excuse is nearer to a woman's heart than her apron.
    Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
    It is not the coat that makes the man.
    Knowledge is power.
    When the wine is in, the wit is out.
