  1. If you were proud the old people used to say you had a big chimney pot.
    You never miss the water until the well runs dry.
    It is an ill wind that does not blow fair to someone.
    They who slight my horse are the first to buy him.
    The darkest hour the nearer the dawn.
    More rain more rest, dry weather is not always the best.
    Its a long lane but there's a turn in it.
    When it rains it pours.
