Take care of the pounds and the pence will take care of themselves. Better late than never. The old dog for the hard road and the pup for the boreen. An Englishman's house is his castle. Live horse and you will get grass. All is not gold that glitters. Hit the nail on the head. Hit the iron while it's red.
