- (continued from previous page)Faint heart never win fair lady.
Give me else before wealth.
Live horse and you will get oats.
A watched pot never boils.
It is an ill wind that blow's nobody good.
No matter how often you wash the bag the smell of the herrings remains.
You cannot make a silk purse out of a cow's ear.
The world could not make a racehorse out of a donkey.
The more you get the more you want.
It is never too late to learn.
A lion will never lie down with a lamb.
there are as good fish in the sea as ever were caught. It is a pity to be drowned during the storm for the sun is sure to come out after the rain.
A whistling woman and a crowing hen bring the devil from his door.
