It is a foul bird that fills his own nest |
It is a good fish, if it were but caught |
It is a no good hen, that cackles in your house and lays in another's |
It is a poor family that hath neither a whore nor a thief in it |
It is a sin against hospitality, to open your doors and darken your countenance |
It is always term-Time in the Court of Conscience |
It is better to be an old man's darling than a young man's werling |
It is better to be poor and live long than rich and die young |
It is better to finish something than begin. |
It is better to pay, and have but little left, than to have much, and be always in debt |
It is better to run back than run the wrong way. |
It is better to travel than to arrive |
It is better to want what you have than to have what you want. |
It is both the means and the end |
It is easy to be wise after the event. |
