I'm not surprised. They aren't modern and aren't in the books of quotations and dictionaries I have handy either. They were both cited as proverbs in different sixteenth or seventeenth century texts I'm working from for my dissertation. I suspect they haven't been in circulation since that time.

well i'll be durned, i wonder if they sell books on proverbs. i need to extend my dialogue skills. I have a pocket thesaurus next to my laptop at all times because i don't know a lot of words. well thats not true, i'll read something and i'll know what all the words mean, but i never use them in day to day speech. so beyond trying to put a variance of words into my regular dialogue i wouldn't mind knowing some cool proverbs too.
