    Judge not by appearances alone
    Happy is the bride the sun shines on
    Happy is the corpse the rain falls on
    After a storm comes a calm
    When the cat is out the mouse can dance
    The early bird gets the worm
    The cat has leave to look at the king
    I saw you before says the cat to the boiling water
    It is hard to put a dog off his track
    If you put a silk suit on a goat it is still a goat
    Riding on a goat is better
