The silent mouth is melodious.
Don't throw out the dirty water till the clean water comes in.
Far off cows wear long horns.
Beware of the snark of a dog, the heels of a horse and the smile of a Sassenagh.
Better discord than loveliness.
While there is life there is hope.
While there's smoke there's fire.
God is strong and merciful.
The windy day is not the day for thatching.
It is too late to spare when all is spent.
