If you break a looking-glass it is said that you would not have luck for seven years.
- The windy day is not the day for the thatch.
When the cat is out the mice can play.
There is no fire place like the fire place at home.
A half a loaf is better than no bread.
Fair and easy goes far in the day.
Come day go day God send Sunday.

You are never to old too learn.
