They are well guided that God guides

Though a lie be well drest, it is ever overcome

You never miss the water till the well runs dry

You cannot tell a book by its cover

Wish not so much to live long as to live well

Who receives a gift, sell his liberty

They die well that live well

Where it is well with me, there is my country

Where men are well used, they’ll frequent there

What is got over the devil’s back is spent under his belly

What is worth doing at all is worth doing well

We never know the value of water till the well is dry

Well begun is half done

Well kens the mouse when the cat’s out of the house

Truth lies at the bottom of a well

Travellers lie by authority

To have one’s eyes bigger than one’s belly

To drop a bucket into an empty well

To eat the calf in the cow’s belly

To accept a favour is to sell one’s freedom

To a full belly all meat is bad

There is falsehood in fellowship

There are more foolish buyers than foolish sellers

The way (the road) to hell is paved with good intentions

The tale runs as it pleases the teller

The smell of garlic takes away the smell of onions

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

The frog in the well knows nothing of the great ocean

The descent to hell is easy

The buyer needs a hundred eyes, the seller but one

The birth follows the belly

The best smell is bread, the best savour salt, the best ove that of children

The best fish smell when they are three days old

The belly will not listen to advice

The belly wants ears
