Short cuts, deep ruts.
Patience, and shuffle the cards.
The hare jumps out when you least expect her.
Where you hope to find rashers there are not even spits.
Opportunity is painted bald.
When the heifer’s given you, run quick with the halter.
He who is not Handsome at Twenty, nor Strong at Thirty, nor Rich at Forty, nor Wise at Fifty, will never be Handsome, Strong, Rich, nor Wise.
I wept when I was born, and every day shows why.
Buy at a Fair, and sell at home.
Let us be Friends, and put out the Devil’s eye.
