- A slow fire makes sweet malt.
A straw best shows how the wind blows.
A wrinkled purse a wrinkled face.
As the fool thinketh, so the bell clinketh.
A knave is one, but a fool is many.
A lie has no legs
A man will never change his mind if he has no mind to change.
Goods when list are valued most.
Bend the twig, bend the tree.
Do not ride a free horse to death.
He that has a wish for his supper may go to bed hungry.
As you brew, you must bake.
It is good to begin well, but it is better to end well.
Keep your shop & your shop will keep you.
Little dogs rise the hare but great ones catch it.
A place for everything & everything in its place(continues on next page)
