Proverbs Page 5

Poverty parts good company
Many a defect is seen in the poor man
It's hard to take britches off bare hips
The full man does not understand the wants of the hungry
A little pleases a poor man
Poor men take to the sea; the rich to the mountains
Poverty creates sadness
Pity the man who does wrong and is poor as well
There is nothing in the world so poor as going to hell.
The thief is no danger to the beggar.
Poverty is no shame.
Two things that go for loss-turf on a mountain and the wisdom of a poor man.
Shame is ever a part of poverty
No-one is ever poor who has the sight of his eyes and the use of his feet A poor man never yet lost his property
Poor is the church without music
A smokey cabin, a handful of spuds and a flea-filled bed
No stopping the force of a going wheel by hand
No forcing the sea
Don't county your chickens before they are hatched
Don't bless the fish till it gets to the land
Don't build the sty until the litter comes
Praise the ripe field not the green corn
Praise the ford when you have crossed it
You must empty a box before you fill it again
The pride of women and the pride of priests
It is difficult to soothe the proud
Pride comes before a fall
Pride feels no pain The jump of a cock on the dungheap
There is no virtue in the herb that is not got in time.
A postponement till morning A postponement for ever.
