Attack is the best form of defence.

An man's home is his castle.

He who laughs last, laughs longest.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Pride comes before a fall.

Life is what you make it.

All good things come to those that wait.

Let the dead bury the dead.

Horses for courses.

A nod's as good as a wink to a blind horse.

Cross the stream where it is shallowest.

History repeats itself.

Let not the sun go down on your wrath.

Tell the truth and shame the Devil.

A little of what you fancy does you good.

If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Barking dogs seldom bite.

He who hesitates is lost.

Good things come in small packages.

You can't unscramble a scrambled egg.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.

Needs must when the devil drives.

Keep your chin up.

Every dog has its day.

Live for today, for tomorrow never comes.

Quid pro quo.

Fair exchange is no robbery.

The leopard does not change his spots.

Never give a sucker an even break.

Hard work never did anyone any harm.

Don't throw good money after bad.

Each to their own.

Work expands so as to fill the time available.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Like father, like son.

The Devil makes work for idle hands.

Clothes do not make the man.

Accidents will happen.

A man who is his own lawyer has a fool for his client.

The darkest hour is just before the dawn.

A soft answer turneth away wrath.

Virtue is its own reward.

It's never too late to mend.

The show must go on.

A drowning man will clutch at a straw.

There is honour among thieves.

Bread always falls buttered side down.

It's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.

One year's seeding makes seven years weeding.

The Devil is in the details.
