MR. IDIOM'S "IDIOM CORNER" #3

Here is Mr. Idiom's slim Spring selection...

4-3:
Samurai are people who conspicuously use a toothpick even when they do
not have something to eat, which is a Japanese poem counterpart of,
"Better to go to bed supper-less than to rise in debt."

4.17:
Calf love, half love; old love, cold love. 
Work now, play later.
Soon gotten, soon spent.

4.24:
Wrangle for an ass's shadow.

6.5:
Sweet are the uses of adversity.

6.19:
All good things must come to an end. 
Speech is silver, silence is golden.

6.26:
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

7.1:
Little and often fills the purse.
