- More in your head than a comb would take out.
Always have ready a mouth for a ripe cherry.
More hurry - less speed.
Slow but sure.
What you are used to will never sicken you.
What you never had you'll never want.
A person's mouth often broke his nose.
There are as good fish in the water as were caught.
It is easier to fall than to rise.
Hunger will break through a stone-wall.
Murder will out.
She's as welcome as the flowers of May.
Talk of Angels and you'll hear their wings.
Speak of the devil and he's sure to appear.
He could hear the grass growing.
