The foot of the Owner is the best manure for his Land.
If your dove-cote never lacks corn, you will never lack pigeons.
Lock your Door, that you may keep your Neighbour honest.
Never mention the rope in the house of a hanged man.
Finger nails come in when wedges are useless.
When the abbot sings out, the acolyte’s not far behind.
At night all cats are grey.
One devil’s like another.
He who sheared me still handles his scissors.
Once bitten by a scorpion, and frightened at its shadow.
