- (continued from previous page)back door often made a rich man poor. Patience is a plaster for all sores. Many a slip betwixt the cup and the lip. People who live in glasshouse should not throw stones. Muffled cats are bad mousers. Jack off all trades and master of none. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Everyone to his liking as the old woman said when she kissed her cow.
Experience teachers fools. Fine feathers don't always make fine birds. Don't run away with more than you can carry. Better to ride an ass that carries me than a horse that throws me. Better late than never. Between two stools we come to the ground. Anything for a quiet life. You need not grease a fat sow.
When the cats are out the mice can play. An empty sack never stands. There is no compassion like the penny. A blind man's wife needs no paint.
