- Trouble runs off him "like water off a ducks back"
The man that burns that man for a fool will have wise ashes.
One trouble never comes alone.

Closing the door when the steed is stolen.

A half burned turf is easily kindled
Throwing apples into an orchard
Putting bacon onto a fat pigs back(continues on next page)- Collector
