Few Truths

Truth comes out of the mouths of babes and ducklings.

Truth is stranger than Fiction

Truth lies at the bottom of a well

When flatters meet, the devil goes to dinner.

When pinch comes, you remember the old shoe.

Who has never tasted bitter, knows not what is sweet.

Velvet paws hide sharp claws.

We know not what is good until we have lost it.

What is bred in the bone will not go out of the flesh

"What is got over the devil's back is spent under his belly.

To measure other man's foot by one's own last.

To rob one's belly to cover one's back.

To rum with the hare and hunt with the hounds.

To treat somebody with a dose of his own medicine.

To cry with one eye and laugh with the other.

Better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

The evils we bring on ourselves are hardest to bear.

The mill cannot grind with the water that is past.

The voice of one man is the voice of no one.
