It's an ill wind that blows no one any good.

Feed a cold and starve a fever.

Life begins at forty.

Let the buyer beware.

Half a loaf is better than none.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

Everyone is the architect of their own destiny.

Waste not, want not.

A house is not a home.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

A stitch in time saves nine.

Don't upset the apple-cart.

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

All things must pass.

First come, first served.

Money talks.

Beauty is only skin deep.

Barking dogs seldom bite.

Marry in haste, repent at leisure.

You can't judge a book by its cover.

Cold hands, warm heart.

Flattery will get you nowhere.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Tell the truth and shame the Devil.

One swallow does not a summer make.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

A good beginning makes a good ending.

Patience is a virtue.

Handsome is as handsome does.

Never speak ill of the dead.

The bigger, the better.

There are two sides to every question.

Be slow in choosing, but slower in changing.

The exception which proves the rule.

First things first.

Little strokes fell great oaks.

To err is human; to forgive divine.

If you lie down with dogs, you will get up with fleas.

Give the Devil his due.

Big fish eat little fish.

God helps those who help themselves.

Time and tide wait for no one.

First impressions are the most lasting.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Adversity and loss make a man wise.

A leopard can't change its spots.

Beat swords into ploughshares.

Practice makes perfect.

While the cat's away, the mice will play.

Beware the Ides of March.
