the HUSBAND is always the last to know
in vain the NET is spread in the sight of the bird
PROMISES, like pie-crust, are made to be brokendecision and indecision see also choices
BETWEEN two stools one falls..
the CAT would eat fish..
don’t CHANGE horses in mid-stream
COUNCILS of war never fight
when in DOUBT, do nowt
FIRST thoughts are best
he who HESITATES is lost
if you RUN after two hares you will catch neitherdeeds see action and inaction; words and deeds
democracy see equality; rulers and ruled
deserts see just deserts
desire see wanting and having
despair see hope and despair
desperation see necessity
destiny see fate and fatalism
destruction
it is easier to PULL down than to build up
don’t THROW the baby out with the bathwaterdiet see food and drink; health
difficulties see misfortune; trouble
