- Hunger is the best sauce.
When the cat is out the mouse can dance.
He who laughs last laughs best".
Laugh and the world laughs with you weep and you weep alone.
An idle word is a useless word.
Many hands make light work.
Too many cooks spoils the broth.
A borrowed horse has hard hoofs.
Where the women are there is talk.
Don't look at all you see, and don't listen to all you hear.
All will depart that will ever come or ever did come.
If you don't sow in Spring you wont reap in the Autumn.
The longest way around is the safest way home.
Make hay while the sun shines.
