The worth of a thing is what it will bring.
Truth lies at the bottom of a well.
Where God builds a church, the Devil will build a chapel.
The tongue always returns to the sore tooth.
The fish always stinks from the head downwards.
You cannot shift an old tree without it dying.
You cannot put an old head on young shoulders.
You cannot have your cake and eat it.
Young men may die, but old men must die.
Young folks think old folks to be fools, but old folks know young folks to be fools.
Turkey, heresy, hops, and beer came into England all in one year.
A woman and a ship ever want mending.
A young man married is a young man marred.
Where the carcase is, there shall the eagles be gathered together.
When things are at the worst they begin to mend.
When thieves fall out, honest men come by their own.
You can drive out nature with a pitchfork but she keeps on coming back.
They that sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind.
