“The parish priest forgets that he was once a parish clerk.”

There is a way out of every situation.

No pain, no gain.

Better late than never.

Man’s mind changes throughout the course of a day.

Help is needed at times.

Birds listen to day-words and rats listen to night-words.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Even though words have no wings, they can still fly a thousand miles.

Power lasts ten years; influence not more than a hundred.

Tap even a stone bridge before crossing.

Put something off for one day, and ten days will pass.

Anyone who goes hungry for three days will be inclined to steal.

Birds of a feather flock together.

To make trouble and then give help.

Well begun is half done.

A rolling stone gathers no moss.
