the RACE is not to the swift..
if at first you don’t SUCCED..
SUCCESS has many fathers, but failure is an orphansuperstition see also dreams; omens
BAD things come in threes
CHANGE the name and not the letter ..
if you want to LIVE and thrive, let the spider run alive
there is LUCK in odd numbers
PARSLEY seed goes nine times to the Devil
help you to SALT, help you to sorrow SWEEP the house with broom in May..
THIRD time lucky
the THIRD time pays for alltact
DIFFERENT strokes for different folks
DRIVE gently over the stones EASY does it
FAIR and softly goes far in a day
LEAST said, soonest mended
a NOD’S as good as a wink ..
never mention ROPE in the house of a man who has been hanged
a SOFT answer turneth away wrath
SPEAK not of my debts unless you mean to pay them
with a SWEET tongue and kindness..
THINK first and speak afterwardstalkativeness see speech and silence; words and deeds
taste
there is no ACCOUNTING for tastes
BEAUTY is in the eye of the beholder
EVERY man to his taste
FAR-FETCHED and dear-bought is good for ladies
one man’s MEAT is another man’s poison
TASTES differteamwork see co-operation
theft
it’s a SIN to steal a pin
