- A borrowed horse has hard hoofs.
The cow with the dirty tail bellows the loudest.
First and second go alike but the third throw carries the bite.
A man is a man if he were only inside in a matchbox.
Strife is better than loneliness.
After a gatherer comes a scatterer.
At the working man's door hunger looks in but dare not enter.
Silks and satins often put out the kitchen fire.
Plough deep while sluggards sleep and you shall have corn to sell and to keep.
He that riseth late must trat all day.
Taste before you eat.
Time and patience would carry a snail to America.
A sleeping fox catches no fowl.
A closed mouth catches no flies.
A small leak sinks a big ship.
'Tis hard for an empty sack to stand upright.
Lost time is never found again.
