At the workingman’s house hunger looks in, but dares not enter.
Diligence is the mother of good luck.
The cat in gloves catches no mice.
By industry and patience the mouse ate into the cable.
Since thou art not sure of a minute, throw not away an hour.
A workingman on his legs is higher than a gentleman on his knees.
It is folly for the frog to swell in order to equal the ox.
It is easier to build two chimneys than to keep one in fuel.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Troubles spring from idleness, and grievous toils from needless ease.
