Great talkers, little doers.

Necessity is our quickest excuse.

What you would seem to be, be really.

Onions can make even Heirs and Widows weep.

If you would know the value of money; go, and try to borrow some! For, he that goes a borrowing, goes a sorrowing! and indeed, so does he that lends to such people, when he goes to get it in again!

Then plough deep while sluggards sleep, and you shall have corn to sell and to keep.

He that pays for work before it's done, has but a pennyworth for two pence.
