be CAREFUL what you pray for, you might get it
the DARKEST hour is just before the dawn
whosoever DRAWS his sword against the prince ..
a DROWNING man will clutch at a straw
HOPE deferred makes the heart sick
HOPE is a good breakfast but a bad supper
HOPE springs eternal
if it were not for HOPE, the heart would break
he who LIVES in hope dances to an ill tunehorse lore
a GOOD horse cannot be of a bad
colour NO foot, no horse one
WHITE foot, buy him..hospitality
the COMPANY makes the feast
FISH and guests smell after three days
it is MERRY in hall when beards wag all
the MORE the merrierhouses see home
human nature see also nature and nurture
an APE’S an ape, a varlet’s a varlet..
BEAUTY is only skin-deep
the BEST of men are but men at best
BETTER a good COW..
BIRDS of a feather flock together
BOYS will be boys
what’s BRED in the bone..
a CARPENTER is known by his chips
the CHILD is the father to the man
the DOG returns to its vomit
what can you EXPECT from a pig but a grunt?
EXTREMES meet
the HIGHER the monkey climbs..
KNOW thyself
the LEOPARD does not change his spots
MAN is the measure of all things
