[Loom-devel] No old an old

[Maryellen]

You can't judge a book by its cover. Vengeance is mine, thus sayeth the Lord. The only free cheese is in the mouse trap. -Russian saying Beauty is only skin deep, but ugliness goes straight to the bone. There's more than one way to skin a cat.
Variant for slow risers: The early worm gets eaten by the birds. Good wine needs no bush. He who dares wins (motto of the Special Air Service (aka SAS))
All sizzle and no steak. A cobbler formed the shape of shoes on a wooden foot shaped last. If it lasted long he was happy Time flies. Latin: Tempus fugit! Butter is gold in the morning, silver at noon, lead at night.
Beauty is only skin deep, but ugliness goes straight to the bone. Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you. It's no use crying over spilt milk Talk of the devil - and the devil appears. Possible Interpretation: One needs to open up to be able to harvest. Kill not the goose that laid the golden egg.
If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right The head and feet keep warm, the rest will take no harm. Not enough room to swing a cat Possible Interpretation: Here talks means carries weight, in the sense that it is influential.
You can't run with the hare and hunt with the hounds. It takes all sorts to make a world. Going the whole nine yards. Let sleeping dogs lie. (Cf. Agatha Christie's Sleeping Murder.) Possible Interpretation: One can get more cooperation from others by being nice.
