An empty sack cannot stand upright. An empty vessel gives a greater sound than a full barret. Empty vessels make the most sound. Let the cobbler stick to his last. Let every man praise the bridge he goes over. Better be envied than pitied. Let the dead bury their dead. Let bygones be bygones. Deliver your words not by number but by weight. Travellers lie by authority. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Drink is the source of evil. Drunkenness reveals what soberness conceals. The work shows the workman. Joys shared with others are more enjoyed. A broken friendship may be soldered but will never be sound. Speak fair and think what you like. Divide and rule. Absence makes heart grow fonder. It's one thing to flourish and another to fight. The early bird catches the worm. The early bird gets the late one's breakfast. Zeal without knowledge is a runaway horse. Take things as they come. A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure. The child says nothing but what is heard by the fire. A child must first creep, then go. A bitten child dreads the dog. Seldom seen, soon forgotten. A threatened blow is seldom given. Hard words break no bones. The end justifies the means. Rome was not built in a day. Faint heart never won fair lady. Christmas comes but once a year. Keep your mouth shut and your eyes open. Near is my shirt, but nearer is my skin. If you swear, you will catch no fish. Fish and company stink in three days. Fish begins to stink at the head. With foxes we must play the fox. An oak is not felled with one stroke. It is ill jesting with edged tools. Since Adam was a boy. There has been many a peck of salt eaten since that time. You must grin and bear it. Good company on the road is the shortest cut. A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder. You made your bed, now lie in it. A lawyer never goes to law himself. The furtherest way about is the nearest way home. The best fish swim near the bottom. The hardest work is to do nothing. Self-praise is no recommendation. The highest tree has the greatest fall. An honest tale speeds best, being plainly told. It is always darkest before the dawn. The darkest place is under the candlestick. Cheek brings success. Shallow streams make most din. The busiest man finds the most leisure. The darkest hour is before the dawn. The biggest fools have the best luck. The cobbler should stick to his last. Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do. Even reckoning makes long friends. . In for a penny, in for a pound. A bargain is a bargain. Stuff today and starve tomorrow. Feast today an fast tomorrow. Think today and speak tomorrow. Laugh today and cry tomorrow. Put the saddle on the right horse. The heart that once truly loves never forgets. Might goes before right. Love cannot be forced. Tell me with whom you go and I'll tell you what you do. Tell that to the marines. A word spoken is past recalling. Saying and doing are two things. A foul morning may turn to a fine day. As many heads, as many wits. So many men, so many minds. So many countries, so many customs. Soon learn, soon forgotten. Self done is soon done. Soon ripe, soon rotten. A creaking gate hangs long. Better a lean peace than a fat victory.
