- "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.
