    God is nearer than the door.
    The Lord never closed one door, but He opened another.
    The day of the wind is not the fay for getting the scolbs.
    Put some aside for a "sore foot."
    However long the day, night will come.
    Bend the twig when it is green.
    It is hard to put an old head on young shoulders.
    If you lie down with dogs, you will get up with fleas.
    You owe me a day in harvest.
