- As small as a robin's mouth.
As hardy as a hedgehog.
Make hay while the sun shines.
As hard as a piper.

- Your pocket is your friend.
Fine feathers make fine birds.
Killed with tea and dead without it.
It is a long road that has no turn.
Time will tell.
A person's mouth often broke his nose.
Better late than never.
Health is better than wealth.
It is a small wind that wouldn't bend a blade of grass.
Marry a mountainy woman and you marry the mountain.
You can't cut wool off a goat.
