- It is time enough to bid the devil good-morrow when you will meet him.
You might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb.
The old dog for the hard road and the pup for the path.
A new broom sweeps clean.
A gold ring in a pig's nose.
A weet Friday a weet Sunday.
Marry in haste and repent at leisure.
You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
You cannot take a glove off the hand that it is not on.
Have it yourself or be without it. Half a loaf is better than no bread. It's as long as' long as the eleventh of June.
It's as tight as twopence.
It's as old as the field behind the house.
Everyone for himself and God for us all.
It's a bad wind that doesn't blow fair for someone.
What seen is believed.
One penny in the money box makes more noise than when full.- Collector
