| proverb |
there's many a good tune played on an old fiddle; the devil knows many things because he is old; good broth may be made in an old pot; old porridge is sooner heated than new made; old pottage is sooner heated than new made; the best wine comes out of an old vessel; an old horse makes a straight furrow; an old horse doesn't spoil the furrows; there is many a good tune played on an old fiddle; an old ox makes a straight furrow (what an experienced old person says he will do, will be done well); the older the fiddle, the sweeter the tune; old wood is best to burn, old horse to ride, old books to read, and old wine to drink (contrast: when bees are old, they yield no honey. a cracked bell can never sound well) |
