Though God take the sun out of heaven, yet we must have patience

Those that eat cheries with great persons, shall have their eyes squirted out with the stones

Youth and age will never agree

Youth and white paper take any impression

You may gape long enough, ere a brid fall into your mouth

You cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs

You cannot make bricks without straw

You cannot get blood out of a stone

You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear

Work hard while you have youth and strenght; for soon weak old age will creep on you with silent tread

Work while you have youth and strenght

You can drive out nature with a pitchfork, but she keeps on coming back

You can’t make an omelet / omelette / without breaking eggs

With seven nannies a child will be without eyes

Without diligence, no prize

Without shame, all the world

While the word is in your mouth, it is your own; when ’tis one spoken ’tis another’s

Three things drive a man out of his house: smoke, rain, and a scolding wife

There’s no smoke without fire

There’s many a good cock come out of a tattered bag

When candles are out all cats are grey

When candles are out, all women are fair

What lose on the swings you gain on the roundabouts

What youth is used to, age remembers

What is bred in the bone will not go (come) out of the flesh

We pay when we are old for the misdeeds of our youth

Wealth is nothing without health

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

We can live without our friends, but not without our neighbours

Turnabout is fair play

Truth will be out

Truth comes out of the mouths of babes and sucklings

To make mountains out of molehills

To make a mountain out of a molehill

To live from hand to mouth
