Proverbs Page 10
- A man with a loud laugh makes truth itself seem folly Truth is great and will win out
- Even the truth may be bitter
- There are two tellings to every story
- Drunkenness and anger, 'tis said tell the truth
- What I'm afraid to hear I'd better say first myself
- Truth speaks even though the tongue were dead
- You can keep away from the rogue, but you cannot keep yourself safe from the liar.
- Truth stands when everything else falls
- It is no shame to tell the truth
- Tell the truth and shame the devil
- The well-filled belly has little understanding of the empty
- 'Tis afterwards that everything is understood
- It's a bad hound that's not worth the whistling
- He knows how many grains to a bushel of wheat
- He knows the price of everything and the value of nothing
- He couldn't drag a herring off the coals
- It's just a wisp in place of a brush
- One pair of good soles is worth two pairs of upper leathers
- Without pressing too little or too hard, hold tight the reins for he's a fool who would not get value from a borrowed horse
- It's not worth a couckoo-spit
- Better an idle house than a bad tenant
- Pity him who makes his opinions a certainty
- he thinks that he himself is the very stone that was hurled at the castle
- He dotes on his midden and thinks it the moon
- That's a spoon ye'll sup sorrow with yet
- Wilful waste makes woeful want
- A shamefaced man seldom acquires wealth
- The money-maker (profiteer) is never tired
