Betwixt the stirrup and the ground Mercy I asked, mercy I found.
It is hard to teach an old dog tricks.
The early bird catches the worm.
All the proof of a pudding is in the eating.
Better halfe a loafe than no bread.
Wisdom is at all times the least burdensome traveling pack.
God sendeth cold after clothes.
An inch in a miss is as good as an ell.
He that mischief hatcheth, mischief catcheth.
