A contented mind is a perpetual feast

A drowning man will catch at a straw

A fair face may hide a foul heart


A fault confessed is half redressed

A civil denial is better than a rude grant
b
"" ""
A clean fast is better than a dirty breakfast

A bird may be known by its song

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

A fox is not taken twice in the same snare

A friend in need is a friend indeed

A good marksman may miss

A good name is better than riches

A good wife makes a good husband


A honey tongue, a heart of gall
/

A Jack of all trades is master of none

A man is known by the company he keeps
/
A penny saved is a penny gained

A small leak will sink a great ship

A storm in a teacup

A word is enough to the wise

After us the deluge

All is fair in love and war
...

All roads lead to Rome

All that glitters is not gold

An evil chance seldom comes alone

An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening/ The
early bird catches the worm

Appearances are deceptive

As like as two peas

As you brew, so must you drink

As you sow, so shall you reap
/ /

Beauty is but skin-deep

Believe not all that you see nor half what you hear


When in doubt, do nothing

Better be alone than in bad company

Better bend than break

Better one-eyed than stone-blind

Better the devil you know than the devil you don't

Between the upper and nether millstone

Blood is thicker than water

Curiosity killed the cat

Charity begins at home

Cross the stream where it is shallowest

 /
Old habits die hard

Cut your coat according to your cloth

To make a mountain out of a molehill

Don't put all your eggs in one basket

Don't sell the bear's skin before you've caught it
/
Every dark cloud has a silver lining
/
Every mother thinks her own gosling a swan

Everything comes to him who waits

Feast today and fast tomorrow

First impressions are lasting


Forbidden fruit is sweet

Four eyes see more (better) than two

God/Heaven helps those who help themselves

Grasp all, lose all

He that commits a fault thinks everyone speaks of it
/
He that goes a borrowing, goes a sorrowing

He that lives with cripples learns to limp

He that would eat the fruit must climb the tree

Hunger breaks stone walls

It is no use crying over spilt milk

Let bygones be bygones

Lies have short legs

Like father, like son

Lost time is never found again

Love is blind

Man proposes but God disposes

Necessity knows no law

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today

No pains, no gains
/ /

Other times, other manners
/
Out of sight, out of mind

Set a thief to catch a thief
/
Silence gives consent

Speak of the devil and he will appear

Still waters run deep

Strike while the iron is hot

Stuff today and starve tomorrow

The end crowns the work

The end justifies the means


The game is not worth the candle

The pitcher goes often to the well but is broken at last

Time is money

Walls have ears

When pigs fly
( )
A chip off the old block

When the cat is away, the mice will play

You cannot make a crab walk straight

You cannot teach old dogs new tricks
