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.
The worth of a thing is what it will bring.
The fish always stinks from the head downwards.
You can drive out nature with a pitchfork but she keeps on coming back.
The tongue always returns to the sore tooth.
When things are at the worst they begin to mend.
When thieves fall out, honest men come by their own.
You cannot shift an old tree without it dying.
You cannot put an old head on young shoulders.
