A turkey never voted for an early Christmas

A silent mouth never did any harm

A silent mouth is sweet to hear

A silent mouth is musical

A short visit is best and that not too often

A scholars ink lasts longer than a martyrs blood

A secret is a weapon and a friend

A promise is a debt

An old broom knows the dirty corners best

A nod is as good as a wink to a blind donkey

A meeting in sunlight is lucky, and a burying in the rain

A man who holds good cards would never say if they were dealt wrong

A man of one cow-a man of no cow

A man may be his own ruin

A loud voice can make even the truth sound foolish

A little pleases a poor man

A list full of gain and a village full of shame

A king’s son is not nobler than his food

A hut is a palace to a poor man

A guest should be blind in another man’s house

A good beginning is half the work

A golden ring can tie a man as tight as any chain

A fool and his money are easily parted

A closed mouth-a wise head

A buckle is a great addition to an old shoe

Where comes a cow the wiseman lay down, there follows a woman, and where comes a woman follows trouble

When the old woman is hard pressed, she has to run

Tis as hard to see a woman cry, as a goose go barefoot

The secret of an old woman scolding

There’ll be white blackbirds before an unwilling woman ties the knot

There is no thing wickeder than a woman of evil temper

There is nothing sharper than a woman’s tongue

There are three creatures beyond ruling- a mule, a pig and a woman

It’s difficult to trust a woman

It’s as hard to see a woman crying as it is to see a barefooted duck
