Welsh proverb

Maybe thia ahould be tagged 'translated proverb', not 'proverb'. shouldn't it?..

Indeed.

It is alleged to be a quote of James Howell

The dictionary of proverbs states:
"This Welsh proverb was first
recorded in 1616 by T. Draxe in Biblio-
theca Scholastica. "

Perhaps that was the first use in Welsh, as opposed to the English translated version supposed to be by James Howell.
