What goes up must come down A cobbler formed the shape of shoes on a wooden foot shaped last If it lasted long he was happy All cats love fish but hate to get their paws wet He that will steal an egg will steal an ox
Variant: Always look on the bright side of life Two things prolong your life: A quiet heart and a loving wife You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear Possible Interpretation: All style and no substance
Owt for nowt, and a penny change Alternative: Who will act as gatekeeper to the gatekeepers? Variant: Ask and ye shall receive If it is broken, fix it with duct tape
Hang a thief when he's young, and he'll no' steal when he's old Possible Interpretation: All style and no substance Like water off a duck's back Play on 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away' Possible Interpretation: You can achieve something in a variety of methods He who sleeps forgets his hunger
The squeaky wheel gets the grease There are too many chiefs and not enough Indians Good wine needs no bush
