- When the cat is out the mouse can dance
Servants say "More rain, more rest,
Too much fine weather is never the best."
When it rains it pours.
Dead from tea and dead without it.
A bad start makes a good end
There is no good in the good that is gone.
- Buy a dear thing & you will have some thing
Buy a cheap thing & you will have nothing - Time & tide wait for no man.
- A rolling stone gathers no moss.
There is no place like home.
You cannot put horns on your shoulders.
The darkest hour comes before the dawn.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
Praise the young & they will come.
The early bird catches the worms.
A rainbow @ night is the shepherd's delight.
A rainbow in the morning is the shepherd's warning. - Collector
