- (continued from previous page)People in glass-house shouldn't throw stones.
Bend the stick while it is young.
Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
There is no rose without a thorn.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
Where there is a will there is always a way.
Weep and you weep alone, laugh and the world laughs with you.
Feast and your halls are crowded, fast and the world goes by.
Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
If the cuckoo sings on a bare branch sell your cow and buy seed.
Time and tide wait for no man.
Don't go to law with the landlord nor too far for a wife.
Smallest strokes fell the greatest oaks.
Coming events cast their shadows before.
Charity begins at home.
One man's meat is another man's poison.
When poverty comes in the door love flies out the window.
