Good things come to those who wait

To have all you can stand; To have it up to 'here'

gate bar

treachery

staying silent

drought

No room for; No leeway

Many goals, few options

Just as advertised

a tighly-packed procession of animals

there's a lot of terrible advice out there; most writing is little more than just decoration

(Beat someone) black and blue

perfect

coronation; appointment to duty

feasting

best friends

enjoying a peaceful, carefree life; people living in peace

stubborn and bull-headed

washing hands and hair

fostering a strong education

raising domestic livestock

all mixed up; ass-backwards; back-asswards
