- (continued from previous page)You cant marry and do well in the one year
A cow and a clout (or a cloth purse) soon runs out
God sends him readier meat than a running hare
It is a long road to no town
It is a short road that has no bend
There is as good fish in the sea as was ever caught
Empty vessels make most sounds
The more haste the less speedThe more rain the more rest but the weather is not always bestIt is an ill wind that profits nobody
You can't drive a lark out of a mountain
They that laugh last laugh bestAlways taking from the meal barrel and never putting into it soon comes to the bottomIt is a wonderful bush he will not pick a berry off
What you cant do is not worth doing
Fools and their money are easily parted
Money makes the mare go
A hungry eye sees far
A friend in need is a friend indeed
If the shoe does not fit you don't put it on
If you boil white stones with butter you can drink the broth
Half a loaf is better than no bread
There are more married than have cold sowans to sup
