Needs must when the devil drives.

An ill wind that bloweth no man to good.

The loss of wealth is loss of dirt, as sages in all times assert; The happy man is without a shirt.

The world's a theatre, the earth a stage, which God and nature do with actors fill.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

Know which side your bread is buttered on.

What you have, hold.

Haste makes waste.

A short horse is soon curried.
