A man who is his own lawyer has a fool for his client. a miss is as good as a mile. a woman’s work is never done. barking dogs seldom bite. do not cut off your nose to spite your face. every cloud has a silver lining. give a dog a bad name and hang him. he who knows does not speak. he who speaks does not know. if anything can go wrong, it will. if you’re growing in age,then you’re nearing to the graveyard. no names, no pack-drill. nothing is certain but death and taxes. nothing ventured, nothing gained. the devil finds work for idle hands to do. the good die young. the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. there is many a slip ‘twixt cup and lip. there is no place like home..
A man with a hammer sees every problem as a nail. a soft answer turneth away wrath. and jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand. barking dogs seldom bite. beauty is only skin deep. big fish eat little fish. boys will be boys. can the ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. comparisons are odious. discretion is the better part of valour. do not upset the apple-cart. flattery will get you nowhere. give a dog a bad name and hang him. great minds think alike. half a loaf is better than no bread. kindness in words creates confidence. kindness in thinking creates profoundness. kindness in giving creates love. let the dead bury the dead. make love not war. parsley seed goes nine times to the devil. practice makes perfect. seeing is believing. spare the rod and spoil the child. stupid is as stupid does. the devil finds work for idle hands to do. there is many a good tune played on an old fiddle. there is no smoke without fire. there is safety in numbers. two is company, but three is a crowd. very good to meet you, my dear. when the cat is away, the mice will play..
A word to the wise is enough. beauty is in the eye of the beholder. better the devil you know than the devil you do not. birds of a feather flock together. blood is thicker than water. cleanliness is next to godliness. empty vessels make the most noise. half a loaf is better than no bread. he who laughs last laughs best. i’m going to have to give you the pink slip. if ifs and ands were pots and pans, there would be no work for tinkers. if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. if you steal from one author, it is plagiarism; if you steal from many, it is research. let the punishment fit the crime. little things please little minds. make hay while the sun shines. many a little makes a mickle. money earned by deceit, goes by deceit. silence is golden. strike while the iron is hot. talk is cheap. there is many a slip ‘twixt cup and lip. there is no time like the present. to be worn out is to be renewed. what cannot be cured must be endured. what goes up must come down. you cannot win them all. you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar..
