   "Lie with the lamb and rise with the bird. "A new broom sweeps clean. "It is lonely to be empty. "One penny gets another. "A full purse makes a light heart. "The truth never choked a man. "What the car will not hear will not trouble you. "You don't know what is in the pot till you take the lid off. "Hunger is a good sauce. "Don't take the book by the cover. "Things often take a turn. "It is often a person's mouth broke his nose. "He who has much gets more. "It is difficult to cut wool off a goat. "There is neither help nor cure for death. "It is a long lane that has no turning.
