- (continued from previous page)trust - a cow's horn, a horses hoof, a dog's snarl, and an Englishman's laugh.
He found a mare's nest.
Hunger is good sauce.
A good beginning is half the work
A wind day is not the day for thatching
The piper of one tune.
It is often a person's mouth broke his face.
A closed mouth and a wise head.
Be afraid and there is no danger of you.
Strife is better than loneliness.
A blind man is a bad judge of colour.
Your pocket is your friend.
The person is the clothes.
It is lonely to be empty.
Don't praise or dispraise yourself.
Dead with tea and dead without it.
Don't be hard and don't be soft, don't desert your friend for your own share
An empty sack doesn't stand.
The thing that is got easily is spent easily
The thing that is bought dear is often sold cheap
A borrowed horse has hard hoofs
It is many a skin that youth casts.
