“After the rain the grass will grow; after wine, conversation.”

Sin punishes itself.

Such father, such son.

As you shout you get will be answered.

Weeds last the season.

The way the devil reads the bible.

A journey of a thousand miles always begins with a single step.

Opportunity makes the thief.

Forbidden road is often heavily worn.

Best to learn from other people’s injury.

Butterflies forget that they were once caterpillars.

Old is oldest.

When a blind man carries the lame man, both go forward.

It is darkest before dawn.

Away is good but home is best.

Rather an honest ‘no’ than an insincere ‘yes’.

New brooms sweep the best.
