Would ye both eat your cake and have your cake?

Would ye break a butterfly upon the wheel?

He who sows wind will reap a tempest

Milk the mosquito to serve your king

To cut into another man's ear is like cutting into a felt hat

She is neither fish nor flesh nor good red herring

Names are not the pledge for things, but things for names

One should write bad things on running water

A drowning man would catch at razors

But coupled sheep drown one another

One may well be too young to marry, but one is never too old to love

Treat your friend as if he will one day be your enemy

And your enemy as if he will one day become your friend

Herring in the land, the doctor at a stand

Dead as a doornail

A single hair casts its shadow on the ground

What have I to do with Bradshaw's windmill?

Better to live one day as a lion than live a hundred years as a sheep

The stone that the builders rejected has become the corner stone

The stone that everybody spits upon will be wet at last

A cat may look at a king

By night all cats are grey

The pen of the tongue should be dipped into the inkwell of the heart

The pen of the tongue should be dipped into... (fade)
