Dear Teachers,
I read some English proverbs and would like to know what they mean --
1. Itch and ease can no man please.
2. A knotty piece of timber must have smooth wedges.
3. You must not let your mousetrap smell of cheese.
4. No cut to unkindness.
I can't find out their meanings by looking up the dictionary or searching on google. Can anybody do a little explanation for me?
