There’s no use crying over spilt milk

Woeful is the household that wants a woman

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

Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones

Where men are well used, they’ll frequent there

What may the mouse do against the cat?

What youth is used to, age remembers

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

Use is second nature

Use the means, and God will give the blessing

Use three physicians still: first, Dr Quiet, next, Merryman, and Dr Diet

Too many commanders cause confusion in the ranks

To-day a man, to-morrow a mouse

Tis useless to kick against the pricks

The wife is the key of the house

The smoke of a man’s own house is better than the fire of anothers

The foot on the cradle and hand on the distaff is the sign of a good housewife

The devil knows many things because he is old

The best things may be abused

Sweet in the bed, and sweir up in the morning, was never a good housewife

Sweet are the uses of adversity

Smoke, rain and a very curst wife, make a man weary of house and life

My house is my castle

More knows the fool in his own house than the wise man in another’s

Once a use and ever a custom

Number one is the first house in the row

Nothing is given so profusely as advice

The house is dead where there’s no bread

When your neighbour’s house is on fire, beware of your own

To use a steam-hammer to crack nuts

When weapons speak, the muses are silent

Little things amuse little minds

To throw [fling] the house out of the window

One master in a house is enough

When the house is open, an honest man sins
