- Time is a good storyteller. The juice of a cow is good alive or dead. Work is better than talk. There is no feast till a roast and no torment till marriage. your pocket is your friend. Lie with the lamb and rise with the bird. A full purse makes a light heart. An empty sack doesn't stand. It is a long road that has no turning. It is often a person's mouth broke his nose. A good word never broke his mouth. The truth never choked a man. It is difficult to cut the wool of a goat. A good beginning is half the work. A windy day is not a day for thatching. The thing that is bought dear is often sold cheap.
