It is easier to hurt than heal.
It is either a hare or a brake-bush.
It is hard to swim against the stream.
It is his turn to-day, it will be mine to-morrow.
It is not for everyone to catch a salmon.
It is one beggar's woe, to see another by the door go.
It is the mind ennobles, not the blood.
It is too late to spare when the pocket is bare.
It is too late to spare, when the bottom is bare.
It is written, "what's not your own, that let alone."
A bad beginning may make a good ending.
A bad cause requires many words.
A baptised jew is a circumcised christian.
A bargain is a bargain.
A bashful dog never fattens.
Charity looks at the need, not at the cause.
Contentment is worth more than riches.
Truth has a handsome countenance but torn garments.
Better silent than stupid.
Good things are not done in a hurry.
Young gambler, old beggar.
Young drinkers, old beggars.
You don't need a teacher of wickedness.
You catch the mice with bacon.
You cannot hang a man twice.
You cannot hang a man for what he thinks.
You can eat and drink with your family but not count and measure.
You are still a slave if only your limbs are free.
Working on the land is better than praying in the desert.
Work paid for in advance has feet of lead.
