He that would the daughter win must with the mother first begin.
He that winna be ruled by the rudder maun be ruled by the rock.
He that will not when he may, when he will he shall have nay.
He that will eat the fruit must climb the tree.
He that is born to be hanged shall never be drowned.
He that has an ill name is half hanged.
Many will show you the way once your cart has overturned.
Scratch a Russian and you find a Tartar.
I continue to do something I've done since I was 18, and that is read a chapter of Proverbs every day as part of my daily devotion. I still maintain that.
Those who know do not talk; those who talk do not know.
