East or West, home is best.

Great boast, small roast.
|
Man proposes, God disposes.
|
No pains, no gains.
|
To hope against hope.
|
Wherever you may roam, there’s no place like home.
|
The busiest man finds the most leisure.
|
All is not gold that glitters.
|
Leave well alone.
|
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
|
Don’t trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.
It only doubles trouble and troubles others too.
|
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
|
Well begun is half done.
|
Friends are thieves of time.
|
Eat at pleasure, drink with measure.
|
Custom is a second nature.
|
Needles and pins, needles and pins, when a man marries his trouble begins.
|
We wonder whether the wether will weather the weather,
Or whether the weather the wether will kill.
|
After dinner sit a while, after supper walk a mile.
|
Blood is thicker than water.
|
The tongue is not steel, yet it cuts.
|
Better short of pence than short of sense.
|
A fault confessed is half redressed.
|
All is well that ends well.
|
If ifs and ans were pots and pans.
|
A light purse is heavy curse.
|
Birds of a feather flook together.
|
Many words hurt more than swords.
|
Fine words dress ill deeds.
|
The cobbler’s wife is the worst shod.
|
It is an early bird that catches the worm.
|
Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise;
Wise, healthy and wealthy.
|
Habit cures habit.
|
Neither here nor there.
|
If you wish for peace, be prepared for war.
|
One must be sometimes cruel to be kind.
|
An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening.
|
Burn not your house to rid it of the mouse.
|
Out of sight, out of mind.
|
Wealth is nothing without health.
|
Lost time is never found again.
|
Joy and sorrow are as near as today and tomorrow.
|
Cowards die many times, the brave but once.
|
It is better to die standing than to live kneeling.
|
Let bygones be bygones.
|
When the cat is away, the mice will play.
|
Better late than never.

Bought a bit of better butter.
