    Fresh grass make s a rogue of a cow.
    Boil stones in butter and you can drink the soup.
    Young fools are many. But old ones are worse than any.
    What can you expect from a pig but a grunt.
    What is the world to a man when his wife is a widow.
    Get the name of an early riser and you can sleep well all day.

    The brighter the moon shines the more the dog howls.
    Sin is sin though it be not seen.
    If things were done twice all would be wise.
