He who is bad at giving lodging is good at showing the road.
The husband of the sloven is known amongst a crowd.
Where there’s women there’s talk, and where there’s geese there’s cackling.
More beard than brains, as the fox said of the goat.
A bad reaper never got a good reaping hook.
A trade not learned is an enemy.
An empty house is better than a bad tenant.
He knows as much about it as a dog knows of his father.
He’d say anything but his prayers.
A vessel will only hold the full of it.
