    Proverbs.
    Strength never left a man in a dry ditch. Easy got easy gone. When the old cock crows the young ones will learn. Kindness in another's trouble, courage in our own. Charity is the Queen of Virtue. The best of Clerks are liable to make mistakes.

    Cows in Connaught have long horns. A hungry stomach fears no danger. You must creep before you walk. Beauty never boiled the pot. A watched pot never boils. Little apples will grow big.
