- Proverbs
It's a bad wind that does not blow somebody good.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
An empty sack will not stand.
A closed mouth catches no flies.
Never trust a liar.
Honesty is the best policy.
It's hard to turn a pigs ear into a silken purse.
A shut mouth makes a wise head.
A stitch in time saves nine.
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
It is sure to rain when the wind blows from Crosskiel.
The day of the wind is not the day of the scolls.
All is not gold that glitters.(continues on next page)
