  1. Time is a good storyteller.
    What the ear will not hear will not trouble the heart.
    A borrowed horse has hard hoofs.
    Throwing apples into an orchard.
    Humility without gentility is like a pudding without fat.
    The world wouldn't make a race horse out of an ass.
    Deep waters run smoothly.
    A man without learning and wearing good clothes is like a gold ring on a pig's nose.
    The greatest curse of any man's life is a smoking chimney and a scolding wife.
    Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.
    There is no feast till a roast and no torment till marriage.
    Marry a mountain girl and you marry the mountain.
    Every dog barks outside it's own door.
    Of small account is a fly till it gets in the eye.
    Good men made laws but bad men made them do so.
    A hair on the head is worth two in the brush.
    A ring on the hand is worth two on the phone.
