    No fireside like your own
    Your own story is everybodys story
    A mans house is his cattle
    If death was a thing that money would buy the rich would live and the poor would die.
    There are more Paddy Lees than one
    Pleople in glass houses should not throw stones
    Dont tell youre mind to another till you look behind the fence
    Better to go to bed supperless than rise in debt
    Have it yourself or do without it
    There is as good a fish in the sea as ever was caught
    Better alone than in bad company
    Let sleeping dogs rest
    Dont swap horses untill you cross the stream
