BEAUTY draws with a single hair
BEAUTY is in the eye of the beholder
BEAUTY is only skin-deep
PLEASE your eye and plague your heart
beginnings and endings see also finality
it is the FIRST step that is difficult
there is always a FIRST time
a GOOD beginning makes a good ending
GREAT oaks from little acorns grow
the LONGEST journey begins with a single step
the MOTHER of mischief is no bigger than a midge’s wing
all ROADS lead to Rome
good SEED makes a good crop
the SOONER begun, the sooner done
as you SOW, so you reap
a STREAM cannot rise above its source
WELL begun is half done
all’s WELL that ends well
behaviour see conduct; human nature
bigness see under great and small
bird lore
ONE for sorrow, two for mirth..
the ROBIN and the wren are God’s cock and hen..
blessings
BLESSED is he who expects nothing..
BLESSINGS brighten as they take their flight
happy is the BRIDE..
happy is the COUNTRY which has no history
blessed are the DEAD..
you never MISS the water till the well runs dry
boasting
BRAG is a good dog..
EMPTY vessels make the most sound
