A fence should be horse high hog tight and bull strong.
Young folk silly folk old folk cold folk.
Poor men seek meat for their stomach rich men stomach for their meat.
Living in the past has one thing in its favour - it's cheaper.
The silent dog is the first to bite.
Today's sales should be better than yesterday's - and worse than tomorrow's.
It is a long lane that has no turning.
Ten lands are sooner known than one man.
