- The windy day is not the day to put on the scálp.
It's many a bad wind blows good to someone.
When there's a wish there's a way.
Never say a thing until you think.
It's hard to kill a bad thing.
Is is a harsh day that blows down a house.
It's many a mule that kicks the back of a cart.
You cannot eat the loaf and have it.
When the cat is away the mice can play.
You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
A soft answer turns away wrath.
It is a long road that has no turn.
A shut mouth catches no flies.(continues on next page)
