MANY a little makes a mickle
MANY a mickle makes a muckle
the MOTHER of mischief is no bigger than a midge’s wing
a MOUSE may help a lion
PROVIDENCE is always on the side of the big battalions
you cannot get a QUART into a pint pot
a REED before the wind lives on..
SMALL is beautiful
when SPIDER webs unite, they can tie up a lion
from the SUBLIME to the ridiculous is only a step
the SUN loses nothing by shining into a puddle
THINK global, act local
for WANT of a nail the shoe was lost..greed
the MORE you get, the more you want
MUCH would have more
the SEA refuses no riverguile see also deception
a CLEVER hawk hides its claws
an old POACHER makes the best gamekeeper
SOFTLY, softly, catchee monkey
set a THIEF to catch a thiefguilt see conscience
gullibility see under trust and scepticism
habit
what’s BRED in the bone..
the DOG returns to its vomit
OLD habits die hard
you cannot SHIFT an old tree without it dying
you can’t TEACH an old dog new trickshappiness
if you would be HAPPY for a week take a wife..
call no man HAPPY till he dies
MONEY can’t buy happiness
