The early bird catches the worm. Easier said than done. Easy come, easy go. Empty vessels make the most sound. Every cloud has a silver lining. Every horse thinks its own pack heaviest. Every little helps. Every medal has two sides. Everything comes to him who waits. The exception proves the rule. Experience is the teacher of fools. Familiarity breeds contempt. Fine feathers make fine birds. The first blow is half the battle. First come, first served. A fool and his money are soon parted. For the want of a nail the shoe was lost. Fortune favors the brave. Give a dog a bad name and hang him. Give and take. Give the devil his due. God made the country, and man made the town. The golden age was never the present age. Good fences make good neighbors. The grapes are sour. Half a loaf is better than no bread. Haste makes waste. Harp not for ever on the same string. He gives twice who gives quickly. He laughs best who laughs last. He that has a great nose thinks everybody is speaking of it. He travels the fastest who travels alone. He who hesitates is lost. He who pays the piper calls the tune. He who says what he likes shall hear what he does not like. Health is wealth. A heavy purse makes a light heart. Help a lame dog over a stile. Honesty is the best policy. Hunger is the best sauce. Idle people never have any leisure. If each would sweep before his own door, we should have a clean city. If it were not for hope, the heart would break. If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. If there were no clouds, we should not enjoy the sun. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. If you run after two hares, you will catch neither. If you want a thing well done, do it yourself. It is a foolish bird that soils its own nest. It's a long lane that has no turning. It is better to give than to take. It is easy to be wise after the event. It is never too late to mend. It is too late to lock the stable when the horse has been stolen. It never rains but it pours.
