- (continued from previous page)If the shoe doesn’t fit don’t put it on. The more you have the more you get. Come easy, go easy. The truth never choked a manBlood is thicker than waterGod fits the back for the burden. A new broom sweeps cleanThe old one knows the corners. A little tastes sweetMarry in haste and repent at leisure. The best healer is the man on the ditch. Birds of feather flock together. ‘Tis a long lane that has no turn in itSome things by season seasoned are. Time and tide wait for no man. A good beginning is the half of the work. What you don’t hear will do you no harm.Self praise is no praise‘Tis better to give than to getHunger is good sauce. When you’re down down with you. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Everyone for his ownA drowning man catches at a straw. ‘Tis hard to get wool off a goat. Everyone for himself + God for the whole of us.
