The loss of wealth is loss of dirt, As sages of all times assert; The happy man's without a shirt.

Death makes equal the high and low.

When the iron is hot, strike.

Two heads are better than one.

Better late than never.

Beggars should be no choosers.

Every cock is proud on his own dunghill.

One good turn asketh another.

A friend is never known till a man have need.

One swallow maketh not summer.

Wedding is destiny, and hanging likewise.

Now for good luck, cast an old shoe after me.

At our wittes end.
