- Live horse and you'll get grass.
What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
Nature breaks out through the eyes of a cat.
My own spur and another man's horse
A cat likes fish, but won't wet its feet.
A good run is better than a bad stand.
I am like a fish out of water.
Any port in a storm
Here today and away tomorrow.
One advice bought is worth two gratis.
If you go to the court leave your soul at home
An inch is a great deal on a nose
If the messenger is cold the answer is cold.
The day always finds fault with the work of the night.
Life is a queer man.
Your Lord's rent, or your child's life.
Don't show your teeth till you can bite.
It is a little that tastes
"Often" does not receive honour
Bend with the tree, that will bend with you
The world wouldn't make a race horse of an ass.
Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
To what you have in you, not what you have on, that ever will make you a gentleman
