- The is hope from the ocean but none from the grave.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
The longest day shall have an end and the best of friends must part
Little boats stay near the shore while larger ones venture more.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
As long as the pitcher is going to the well it is broken at last.
Fine feathers make fine birds.
Tell me your company and I will tell you what you are.
The day of the wind is not the day for the scallops.
The long you will live the more you will hear.
Troubles never troubles me until trouble troubles me
It is a long lane that hasn't a turn.
