- One jump in the fire, never burnt the cat.
Debt is the worst kind of poverty.
He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
Better got to bed supperless thank rise in debt.
A good thing when lost is valued most.
A man's home is his castle.
What's got by nature cost no money.
It is never too late to mend.
Happy is the bride the suns shines on, happy is the corpse the rain falls on.
After a storm comes a clam.
Riding on a goat is better than the best of walking.
It is hard to put a dog off this tracks.
Hills are green far away.
A watched pot never boils.
Hunger is good sauce.
Spare for the rainy day.
Laugh and the world laughs with you.
Rise with the lark: with him to bed.
