Where the carcase is, there shall the eagles be gathered together.
When things are at the worst they begin to mend.
When thieves fall out, honest men come by their own.
You can drive out nature with a pitchfork but she keeps on coming back.
Where God builds a church, the Devil will build a chapel.
Truth lies at the bottom of a well.
Turkey, heresy, hops, and beer came into England all in one year.
You cannot shift an old tree without it dying.
You cannot put an old head on young shoulders.
You cannot have your cake and eat it.
The tongue always returns to the sore tooth.
The worth of a thing is what it will bring.
A woman and a ship ever want mending.
A young man married is a young man marred.
Young men may die, but old men must die.
Young folks think old folks to be fools, but old folks know young folks to be fools.
They that sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind.
The fish always stinks from the head downwards.
