- (continued from previous page)He who would strike my dog would strike myself.
One without a breakfast means two for a dinner.
There is seldom fire without smoke.
When the cat is out the mouse can play.
Empty vessels make most sound.
One swallow never makes a summer.
It is an ill wind that blows good to nobody.
Slow and steady wins the race.
What you never know will never trouble you.
A good name is better than riches.
Far hills are green.
Curses like chickens, come home to their roost.
Fair and easy goes far in the day.
A good run is better than a bad stand.
