    Everyone to his own liking
    The old dog for the long road + the pup for the boitreen
    Security is mortal's chiefest enemy
    A wet + windy May fills the garden with corn + hay
    You have made your bed and lie on it
    Many hands make (like) light work.

    A hunter of shadows and himself a shade.
    God helps those who help themselves
    A mans house is his palace.
    Prosperty has its duties as well as its rights.
    You can fool all the world some of the time, and some of the world all the time but not all the all the time
    Till the truth and bear the blame.
    Don't swap horses in crossing a stream
    Every one to his liking as the woman
