"It is sight for sore eyes to see you"
There is a story about that proverb. One time a man said he would seek work. He left a brother athome. He had travelled a long distance before he got a job. He was fifty years before he visited his home. His brother was ill and had sore eyes. When he saw his other brother he got better and his eyes got alright. Then he said this proverb.
A watched pot never boils
One penny gets another
Out of the frying pan into the fire
It is often a person's mouth broke his nose.
There is no use crying over spilt milk
It is difficult to cut wool off a goat.
