- An inch is a great deal on a nose.
If you go to the court, leave your soul at home.
'Tis the thunder that frights,
But the lightning that smites.
Crosses are the ladders that lead to Heaven.
A man of words, and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds.
A green Christmas makes a fat churchyard.
Circumstances alter cases, and broken noses alter faces.
All things are difficult before they are easy.
All things are subject to change and we change with them.
There is always a black sheep in every white flock.
Winter is Winter till the middle of May,
Summer is summer till Michaelmas Day.
Curiosity kills the cat.
If the cap fits him, let him wear it.
When it thunders, the thief becomes honest.
Grey hairs are death's blossoms.
Haste makes waste.
