Sweep before your own door
Such carpenters, such chips
Success is never blamed
opportunity, action, timing, decision
Strike while the iron is hot
Stretch your legs according to the coverlet
Stretch your arm no further than your sleeve will reach

Soon ripe, soon rotten
Soon learnt, soon forgotten
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark
Soft fire makes sweet malt
