- What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
The longest lane must have a turn.
Its a poor washing that there is not a shirt in.
A watched pot never boils.
Many hands make light work.
If the cap suits you wear it.
A good beginning is half the work.
Man proposes but God disposes.

- A rolling stone gathers no moss
A stitch in time saves nine
It is better to be born lucky than rich
Never forsake the old for the new.
The day of the wind the day of the scallop.
