**A** A bad workman always blames his tools. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. A burnt child dreads the fire. A cat may look at a king. A clear conscience is a good pillow. A crow is never whiter for washing herself often. Actions speak louder than words. A drowning man will catch at a straw. A fish out of water. A fog cannot be dispelled with a fan. A friend in need is a friend indeed. A friend is easier lost than found. A friend's frown is better than a fool's smile. After a storm comes a calm. After the death, to call the doctor. = After death, the doctor. A good husband makes a good wife. A good medicine tastes bitter. A large fire often comes from a small spark. A Leopard cannot change his spots. A living dog is better than a dead lion. All covet, all lose. All is fair in love and war. All is fish that comes to his net. All is not gold that glitters. All that glitters is not gold. All is well that ends well. All lay loads on a willing horse. All man are equal before the law. All things obey money. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. A long tongue is a sign of a short hand. A man cannot serve two masters. A man is judged by the company he keeps. An eye for an eye. A penny saved is a penny gained. A picture is worth a thousand words. A promise is a promise. A rich man never quarrels. A rolling stone gathers no moss. Art is long, life is short. A rust eats iron, so care eats the heart. As a duck (takes) to water. As a man sows, so he shall reap. = As you sow, so shall you reap. As if to rub salt in the wound. As long as there is life, there is hope. A sound mind in a sound body. A stitch in time saves nine. A straw will show which way the wind is blowing. Attack is the best defence. Avarice knows no bounds. A watched pot never boils. A wonder lasts but nine days.
**B** Bad news has wings. = Bad news travels fast. Barking dogs seldom bite. Beauty and luck seldom go hand in hand. Beauty is but skin-deep. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beggars must not be choosers. Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. Better bend than break. Better late than never. Beware of the wolf in sheep's clothing. Big fish in a little pond. Birds of a feather flock together. Blood is thicker than water. Brevity is the soul of wit. By other's faults wise men correct their own.
**C** Call a spade a spade. Care killed the cat. Cast not your pearls before swine. Claw me, and I'll claw thee. Clothes make the man. Come empty, return empty. Constant dropping wears the stone. Credit is everything to a merchant. Curiosity killed the cat. Curses, like chickens, come home to roost. Cut your coat according to your cloth. Credit is better than gold.
**D** Danger comes soonest when it is despised. Danger past, God forgotten. Deeds, not words. Do as you would be done by. Don‘t kick against the pricks. Don't count your chickens before they are hatched. Don't cry before you are hurt. Don't put new wine into old bottles. Don't put the cart before the horse. Don't wake a sleeping lion. Do to others as you would have them do to you. Drop by drop, water wears away a stone.
**E** Easier said than done. Easy gained, easy spent. = Easy come, easy go. Empty vessels make the most sound. Even Homer sometimes nods. Everybody's business is nobody's business. Every cloud has a silver lining. Every dog has its day. = Every dog has his day. Every Jack has his Jill. Example is better than precept.
**F** First catch your hare (then cook him). First come, first served. Forbidden fruit is sweetest. Fortune favors the brave. From saving comes having.
**G** Gather the rose-buds while you may. Gold and jade on the outside. Good fences make good neighbours. Good health is a great asset. Good wine needs no bush.
**H** Habit is a second nature. Haste makes waste. Health is above wealth. Heaven helps those who help themselves. He who hates Peter harms his dog. He who hesitates is lost. He who hunts two hares loses both. He who is born a fool is never cured. He who touches pitch will be defiled. His bark is worse than his bite. Honesty is the best policy. Hunger is the best sauce.
**I** If you run after two hares, you will catch neither. Ignorance is bliss. Ignorance is no excuse. Ill news travels apace. It is never too late to mend. It is no use crying over spilt milk. It never rains but it pours. It takes all sorts to make a world.
**J** Jack of all trades is master of none.
**K** Knowledge is power.
**L** Lend your money, and lose your friend. Let sleeping dogs lie. Life is but a short dream. Life is full of ups and downs. Like father, like son. Little pitchers have long ears. Little strokes fell great oaks. Lock the stable after the horse is stolen. Long absent, soon forgotten. Look after the pence and the pounds will look after themselves. Look before you leap. Lots of littles make a lot. Love is blind. Love laughs at distance. Love me, love my dog.
**M** Make hay while the sun shines. Man is mortal. Money begets money. Money does not grow on trees. Money will come and go. Many a little makes a mickle. Many drops make an ocean. Many hands make light work. Misery loves company. Misfortunes seldom come singly. Money makes the mare (to) go. More haste, less speed. Much coin, much care. Much cry and little wool.
**N** Nature is the best physician. Necessity is the mother of invention. Necessity knows no law. Never buy a pig in a pocket. Never judge from appearances. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Never too old to learn. No cross, no crown. None are so blind as those who won't see. None but the brave deserve the fair. No news is good news. No pains, no gains. = No gains without pains. Nothing venture, nothing have. No two minds think alike.
**O** Oaks may fall when reeds stand the storm. One cannot eat one's cake and have it. One man's meat is another man's poison. One man sows and another man reaps. One swallow doesn't make a summer. Out of sight, out of mind. Out of the frying pan into the fire.
**P** Penny wise and pound foolish. Poverty brings stupidity. Poverty is no excuse for theft. Practice makes perfect. Praise speaks louder than criticism. Prevention is better than cure. Pride goes before a fall.
**R** Return to nature! Rich folk have many friends. Rome was not built in a day.
**S** Sea is the best school for a sailor. Seeing is believing. Slow and steady wins race. Small drops make a shower. Smiles works more than words. So many men, so many minds. Spare the rod and spoil the child. Speech is silver, but silence is gold. Still waters run deep. Strike while the iron is hot. Sweep before your own door. Sweet after bitter.
**T** Talk of the devil and he will appear. Tall trees catch much wind. The apples in the neighbor's garden are sweetest. The best fish smell when they are three days old. The biter is sometimes bit. The child is father of the man. The early bird catches the worm. The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. The pen is mightier than the sword. The pot calls the kettle black. There are two sides to every question. There is as good fish in the sea as ever came out of it. There is a time for everything. There is luck in leisure. There is many a slip between cup and lip. There is no accounting for tastes. There is no remedy for poverty. There's no rose without a thorn. There is no royal road to learning. There is no rule without exceptions. There is no smoke without fire. The rich are not always happy. The sooner, the better. The swift man is beaten. The tree is known by its fruit. The truth will come out. They that know nothing fear nothing. Think today and speak tomorrow. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Throw not your pearls before swine. Time and tide wait(s) for no man. Time flies like an arrow. Time heals all wounds. Time is money. Time is the healer of all. To begin is half done. = Well begun is half done. To change horses in mid-stream. To know is one thing, to teach is another. Too many cooks spoil the broth. To preach to the saint. To take the bull by the horns. To the hungry, no bread is bad. Truth is beauty. Two eyes see more than one. Two heads are better than one. Two of a trade seldom agree.
**W** Walls have ears. Waste not, want not. Water will wear away stone. Well begun is half done. What cannot be cured must be endured. What is done cannot be undone. What's learned in the cradle is carried to the grave. When the cat is away, the mice will play. When (you are) in Rome, do as the Romans do. When wine is in, wit is out. Where there is a will, there is a way.
**Y** You are never too old to learn. You cannot eat your cake and have it. You can't make an omelet without breaking an egg. You can't see the wood/forest for the trees. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. You may lead/take a horse to the water, but you cannot make him drink.
