Hell is paved with good intentions. Diamond cut diamond. The appetite comes with eating. Velvet paws hide sharp claws. Bacchus has drowned more men than Neptune. Adversity is a good teacher. An evil chance seldom comes alone. Adversity flatters no man. is not poor that has little, but he that desires much. Friendless is poor. Poverty is not a shame, but the being ashamed of it is. Poverty is no sin. Poverty breeds strife. A beggar can never be bankrupt. Beggars cannot be choosers. Misfortunes never come alone. It never rains but it pours. If it were not for hope, the heart would break. No bees, no honey; no work, no money. No pains, no gains. No gain without pain. is lifeless that is faultless. Idleness rusts the mind. Keen eyes are small gain in the head without brain. There is safety in numbers. Safety lies in the middle course. Don't quarrel with your bread and butter. Take heed of the snake in the grass. Beware of a silent dog and still water. Take the bull by the horns. It's no use pumping a dry well. No use pumping a dry well. A wager is a fool's argument. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them. Discretion is the better part of valour. It is more blessed to give than to receive. Charity begins at home. Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed. God helps those who help themselves. A great dowry is a bed full of brambles. A great fortune is a great slavery. Wealth is nothing without health. Riches take wing, honour will cling. Wealth like want ruins many. They are rich who have true friends. The gods send nuts to those who have no teeth. Diseases are the interests of pleasures. Agues come on horseback, but go away on foot. A tattler is worse than a thief. The great fish eat up the small. They brag most who can do least. Nothing comes out of the sack but what was in it. Great oaks from little acorns grow. A great fortune is a great slavery. A great ship asks deep waters. The cask savours of the first fill. Marriage is a lottery. Marriages are made in heaven. Scornful dogs will eat dirty puddings. Harm watch, harm catch. Be just before you are generous. Be slow to promise and quick to perform. Oaks may fall when reeds stand the storm. An ox taken by the horns, and a man by the tongue. The bull must be taken by the horns. Poverty is no sin. A great city, a great solitude. Any port in a storm. Money is the root of all evil. In a long journey a straw weighs. There is a crook in the life of everyone. A close mouth catches no flies. A sound mind in a sound body. Every family has a black sheep. Every law has a loophole. There is a black sheep in every flock. There is a skeleton in every cupboard. In the end things will mend. There are more ways to the wood than one. Little bodies may have great souls. A little body often harbours a great soul. Everything is mixed with mercy. There are as good fish in the sea as ever came out of it. There is a great force in soft command. In at one ear and out at the other. He carries fire in one hand and water in the other. Company in distress makes trouble less. Despair gives courage to a coward. Rain before seven, fine before eleven. Hope springs eternal in the human breast.
