    Old sayings.
    The man near the ditch is the best hurler. He who does twice does with a good will.
    He who goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
    If you meet a little red woman it is a sign of bad luck.
    The sight of you is good for sore eyes.
    Liars ought to have good memories.

    Facts are stubborn things.
    As good to be out of the world as out of the fashion
