OBJECT
The old pipe gives the sweetest smoke.
A scholars ink lasts longer than a martyrs blood.
The older the fiddle the sweeter the tune.
A narrow neck keeps the bottle from being emptied in one swig.
Even a tin knocker will shine on a dirty door.
An old broom knows the dirty corners best.
It’s no use carrying an umbrella if your shoes are leaking.
A buckle is a great addition to an old shoe.
The wood will renew the foliage it sheds.
By degrees the castles are built.
You must empty a box before you fill it again.
A wedge from itself splits the oak tree.
One pair of good soles is worth two pairs of upper leathers.
Better an idle house than a bad tenant.
The doorstep of a great house is slippery.
A heavy purse makes a light heart.
A lock is better than suspicion.
A new broom sweeps clean, but the old brush knows all the corners.
