    A man without learning and wearing good clothes is like a gold ring in a guinea pigs nose.
    A man with good learning and wearing good clothes is always a gentleman where ever he goes.
    The longer you live the more you see.
    Age is honourable, youth is preferable.
    Patience is a virtue.
    He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
    A watched pot never boils.
    A whistling woman and a crowing hen wakes the devil in his den.
    What ill got is ill gone.
