A daily guest is a thief in the kitchen.
A day of fasting is the eve of a feast.
A day without bread lasts long.
A dog won't bite you if you are carrying a stick.
A donkey decked in gold is better than an over-laden horse.
A fool is someone who trusts another fool.
A fool who knows Latin is never a real fool.

A good life, they say, keeps wrinkles at bay.
A good man's pedigree is little hunted up.
A hidden fire is discovered by its smoke.
A hundred years hence we shall all be bald.
A lot of weeds will grow in a stagnant pond.
