- A green Christmas makes a fat Churchyard.
A liar needs a good memory.
After a nights pleasure comes a days sorrow.
The lovelist bird has no song.
Tell no home secrets outside.
God is the dust that blinds all eyes.
Better pay the cook than the doctor.
Short accounts make long friends.
Law is costly, shake hands and be friends
Be just and fear not.
Stone after stone builds the castle.
A penny after death is waste money.
Many hands make light work.
A moist May gives a plenitude of corn and hay.
Convince a man against his will and he holds his own opinion still.
When speaking of anothers faults dont forget your own.
Smooth waters flows deep but never rises a foam.
It is a bad spring to sow what will never be reaped.
Never sow a stitch until you put a knot in the thread.
Dont throw out the dirty water until you have the clean water in.
It is no use crying over spilt milk.
One look before is better than two behind you.
Praise a fair-day at night.
No pains no gains.
