It's beter than the loan you couldn't get.
What is in the marrow is hard to take out of the bone.
Its a bad hen that won't scratch herself.
Often a cow does not take after its breed.
Do not mistake a goats beard for a fine stallions tail.
Pity the man who has a stranger's spancel on him.
A handstaff of holly, a buailtin of hazel,a single sheaf and a clean floor.
It is better to be a coward for a minute than dead for the rest of your life.
A boys best friend is his mother and there's no spancel stronger than her apron string.
Put a beggar on horseback and he'll go on a gallop.
