Waste not, want not
When in doubt, do nothing
You can throw a cat however you want; it always lands on its feet
A cold bitter Christmas, a fat churchyard
A good denial, the best point in law
a long way to go
a shining example
Adversity Makes Strange Bedfellows
Always the bridesmaid,never the bride
as wrinkled as an elephant's hide
Better die with honor than live with shame
Catch not at the shadow and lose the substance
Death pays all debts
Due to the presence of fools, wise people stand out
Excess of ceremony shows want of breeding
Fogiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the foot that crushed it
God gives every bird its food, but does not always drop it into the nest
Hasty climbers have sudden falls
He who hesitates is lost
If Fortune calls, offer him a seat
Is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness
Jack of all trades, master of none
Life is like a box of chocolates, sometimes hard, sometimes soft
Lookers on see most of the game
March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers
Never put off til tomorrow what you can do today
Nothing that is worth knowing can be taught
Only time will tell
Quickly come, quickly go
Some are wise and some are otherwise
The Best Fish Swim Near the Bottom
The first step is the hardest
The price of liberty is eternal vigilance
There is no physician like a true friend
To thine own self be true
Walls have ears
When good cheer is lacking, our friends will be packing
You can have too much of a good thing
A bus is a vehicle that runs twice as fast when you are after it as when you are in it
A fool will laugh when he is drowning
A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones
A positive pessimist is better than a negative optimist
A worry shared is a worry halved
all over the place
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity
Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy
Bitter pills may have blessed effects
Corporations have neither bodies to be punished nor souls to be damned
Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you
Every flow hath its ebb
Fine feathers make fine birds
Gentle is that gentle does
Greedy folks have long arms
He who awaits much receives little
Home is where you hang your hat
Ill-gotten gains never prosper
It takes one day to destroy a house but to build a new one will take months, perhaps years
Learn to say no It will be of more use to you than to be able to read Latin
Little white lie
Man cannot live on bread alone
Never choose bedlinen or a wife by candlelight
No pain, no gain
One good turn deserves half the blankets
play with fire
Shopping is a therapy
Take heed of reconciled enemies and of meat twice boiled
The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese
The more the merrier
There is a skeleton in every cupboard
Tis better to get things for free, than to work up a sweat
Two wrongs may not make a right but three rights make a leftUnder the thorn grow the roses
What we see depends mainly on what we look for
Why bark when you can get a dog to do it
You might as well be hanged for a sheep as for a lamb
A bad excuse is better than none
A dog who attends a flea circus most likely will steal the whole show
A Good Tongue is a Good Weapon
A man that breaks his word bids other be false to him
A sprat to catch a mackerel
Age before beauty
An old fox is not easily snared
Barking dogs seldom bite
Better to be envied than pitied
Christmas comes but once a year, but Hallmark makes sure it lasts three months
Distance lends enchantment to the view
Even a clock that does not work is right twice a day
Fair exchange is no robbery
Forbidden fruits create many jams
Good and quickly seldom meet
He Is Rich Enough That Wants Nothing
He who makes no mistakes, makes nothing
If there were no lossers there could be no winners
It is easier to get forgiveness than permission
Kill not the goose that lays the golden egg
Lightning never strikes twice in the same place
Love laughs at the locksmiths
Mind your own business
Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you
Old sins cast long shadows
Pain is so close to pleasure
Revenge is sweet
Stir With a Knife, Stir Up Strife
The cobra will bite you whether you call it cobra or Mr Cobra
The higher the tree, the sweeter the plum
The tide never goes out so far but it always comes in again
They that walk much in the sun will be tanned at last
True blue will never stain
We had nothing to do and we did it very well
When the student is ready, the master will appear
You cannot make bricks without straw
A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor
A friend in need is a friend indeed
A heavy purse gives to a light heart
A problem is a chance for you to do your best
Aaah, a man who runs through airport swing-doors is going to Bangkok
All roads lead to Rome
As busy as a bee
Bees that have honey in their mouths have stings in their tails
Blessings Are Not Valued Until They Are Gone
Count your blessings
Don't answer back
Every little helps
Fine words butter no parsnips
Gie yer tongue mair holidays nor yer heid
Grow your own dope - plant a man!
He who comes with a story to you will bring two away from you
Home sweet home
Imagination is the highest kite you can fly
It takes one to know one
Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere
Live and learn
Man who wants pretty nurse, must be patient
Never eat an oyster unless there is an R in the month
No wind, no waves
One mans loss is another mans gain |
