Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth
Hearsay is not like ocular evidence
Discontent is the first step in progress
He that would the daughter win must with the mother first begin
Better the devil you know than the devil you do not know
Venture a small fish to catch a great one
Habit ever remains
Love laughs at locksmiths
One pair of heels is often worth two pairs of hands
Praise the child and you make love to the mother
He who rides a tiger is afraid to dismount
The good is the enemy of the best
Everyone stretches his legs according to the length of his coverlet
An honest man’s word is as good as his bond
England’s difficulty is ireland’s opportunity
Catch your bear before you sell its skin
No flying from fate
Everybody loves a lord
Long and lazy little and loud fat and fulsome pretty and proud
Truth is the first casualty of war
The worse luck now the better another time
The buyer has need of a hundred eyes the seller of but one
Knowledge is a treasure but practice is the key to it
Yorkshire born and yorkshire bred strong in the arm and weak in the head
Honey catches more flies than vinegar
There’s many a true word spoken in jest
He is rich enough who lacks not bread
Either mend or end
Meat and mass never hindered man
