Sayings




Where there is will, there is a way
Where there is skill, there is a say

Where there's no life, there is no strife
Where there's no strife, there is decay

Ere there is charity to begin at home
Ensure no bill you have to pay

Go east or west, home is the best
For a long time nowhere you should stay

Though beauty needs no ornaments
Yet make-up is done for display

The best policy is honesty
It may be though to one's dismay

Though it's never too late to mend
But one may have died of delay

Lo, time and tide wait for no man
Keep slothfulness always at bay

Cut your cloth according to your cloth
Long is the work -- - short is the day

Love makes one fit for any work
Love me, love my dog. Don't betray

When the cat is away, the mice will play
When wives are away, husbands hurray

Catch all your hares but don't cook them
Lay them up for a rainy day


While the iron is hot, you must strike
When the sun is shining, do make hay

You must put off till tomorrow
The work you cannot do today


Idle brain is devil's workshop
Do work or read or write or play
