Rodgers Dictionary of Proverbs He buys very dear who begs. He buys well who is not called a donkey. He calls me scabbed, because I will not call him skade. He came safe from the East Indies, and was drowned in the Thames. He came time enough who was hung by candlelight. He can carry the ox who has carried the calf. He can cheat a fish of its skin. He can do but little who cannot threaten another. He can get money in desert. He can hide his meat and seek mair. He can ill be a master that never was a scholar. He can live even on flat ice. He can see a louse as far away as China but is not aware of an elephant on his nose. He can see an inch before his nose. He can see the splinter in another's eye but cannot see even the beam in his own. He can sell ice on Rura Penthe. He cannot be a friend to any one who is his own enemy. He cannot find water in the sea. He cannot lay eggs, but he can cackle. He cannot lead a good life who serves without wages. He cannot see the wood for the trees. He can't see the beam in his own, but he's looking for an eyelash in someone else's. He cares na whase bairns greet if his laugh. He carries fire and water. He carries fire in one hand, water in the other. He catches the best fish who angles with a golden hook. He catches the wind with a net. He changes a fly into an elephant. He combines the pleasant with the useful. He comes aftener with the rake then the shool. He comes too early who brings bad news He comes with incense in one hand, in the other a spear. He complains early that complains of his 234 kail. He confesses his guilt who flies from his trial. He confides the cabbage to the goat. He conquers who conquers himself. He conquers who endures. He considers it as straw of, the landowner Csaky. He could not earn enough to buy even cold water. He couldn't drag a herring off the coals. He counts his chickens before they are hatched. He covers me with his wings, and bites me with his bill. He cries out before he is hurt. He cries wine, and sells vinegar. He crushes pepper under the nose of somebody. He cut his axe into a big tree. He cuts awfu' near the wood. He cuts near the wood. He cuts the tree under himself. He danced bound hand and foot. He dances on a razor-edge. He dances well to whom fortune pipes. He declares himself guilty who justifies himself before accusation. He defends the honour of the uniform. He deserves not the sweet that will not taste the sour. He devil is not so ugly as he is painted. He devil tempts all, but the idle man tempts the devil. He did hear the sound of the bell, but doesn't know where the clapper hangs. He did not invent gunpowder. He did not shoot the hare but the pot is already on the fire. He didn't learn anything. He dies before he is old who is wise before his day. He dies twice who perishes by his own hand. He disappeared like a grey donkey in the fog.
