    Your son is your son till he marries a wife, but your daughter is your daughter all the days of your life.
    Handsome is that handsome does.
    A bad workman quarrels with his tools.
    A burned child dreads the fire.
    Least said soonest mended.
    Laziness is a heavy load.
    More haste less speed.
    Have the thing or want it.
    What is allotted cannot be blotted.
    What can't be cured must be endured.
    You never know the shelter of the bush until it is cut.
    One man's meat is another man's poison.
