The wife is the key of the house.
Thou that hast given so much to me give me one thing more, a grateful heart: not thankful when it pleaseth me, as if Thy blessings had spare days, but such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise.
He that riseth betimes hath some thing in his head.
One stroke fells not an oke.
If yee would know a knave, give him a staffe.
To a gratefull man give mony when he askes.
