It takes three generation to make a gentleman.
It was the piece of straw that broke the camel's back.
It will all come out in the soap-suds.
It would be a very big book that contained all the maybes uttered in a day.
It would be clear enough even to a blind man.
To see a man live poor to die rich.
It would puzzle even Apollo to understand it.
It's a bad hen that won't scratch herself.
It's a poor sheep that cannot carry its own wool.
It's a sin to steal a pin.
It's a well-known fact, dirt stinks more when stirred.
It's all grist to the mill.
It's an ill wind that blows no one any good.
It's as difficult to be rich without bragging as it is to be poor without complaining.
It's bad combing where there is no hair.
It's better that the bakers are on horseback than the doctors.
It's better to arrive on time than to be invited.
It's dogged as does it.
It's enough to make a parson swear, or a quaker kick his mother.
It's good dancing on another man's floor.
It's good feasting in another's hall.
It's good steering with wind and tide.
Before ye be on wi' the new.
It's hard to catch hawks with empty hands.
It's ill jesting with edged tools.
It's ill speaking between a full man and a fasting.
It's ill waiting for dead men's shoes.
It's no delay to stop to edge the tool.
