Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today


Old soldiers never die, they just fade away


One good turn deserves another


Beauty is only skin deep


Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all


Hard work never did anyone any harm


Better to remain silent and be thought a fool that to speak and remove all doubt


Don't upset the apple-cart


Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise


Every stick has two ends


An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure


As you sow so shall you reap


Flattery will get you nowhere


Fools rush in where angels fear to tread


Discretion is the better part of valour


Do as you would be done by


Ask no questions and hear no lies


If you can't beat em, join em


In the midst of life we are in death


Attack is the best form of defence


Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die


Failing to plan is planning to fail


Faint heart never won fair lady


Half a loaf is better than no bread


Handsome is as handsome does


Home is where the heart is


If God had meant us to fly he'd have given us wings


Into every life a little rain must fall


It's no use locking the stable door after the horse has bolted


It's not worth crying over spilt milk


Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and, you weep alone


Laughter is the best medicine


Fortune favours the brave


God helps those who help themselves


Those who sleep with dogs will rise with fleas


Time and tide wait for no man


Time is a great healer


You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar


Youth is wasted on the young


A little of what you fancy does you good


Doubt is the beginning not the end of wisdom


A miss is as good as a mile


Every man has his price


A new broom sweeps cleanr away


Good fences make good neighbours


Necessity is the mother of invention


Too many cooks spoil the broth


Truth is stranger than fiction


When the cat's away the mice will play


Where there's a will there's a way


There but for the grace of God, go I


Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it


Worrying never did anyone any good


You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink


Beware of Greeks bearing gifts


Cut your coat to suit your cloth


Let not the sun go down on your wrath


Let the punishment fit the crime


Only fools and horses work


Procrastination is the thief of time


Put your best foot forward


Red sky at night shepherds delight; red sky in the morning, shepherds warning


Revenge is a dish best served cold


Rome wasn't built in a day


Birds of a feather flock together


Spare the rod and spoil the child


Barking dogs seldom bite


Speak softly and carry a big stick


Beauty is in the eye of the beholder


Still waters run deep


Blood is thicker than water


Stupid is as stupid does


There are none so blind as those, that will not see


Life begins at fortycomes


Look before you leap


Man does not live by bread alone


You can't get blood out of a stoneer


Never judge a book by its cover
