The bigger the lie the more it is believed.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
The burnt child dreads the fire.
The cage is ready but the bird is flown.
The child is father to the man.
The coward dies many times, the hero only once.
The customer is always right.
The devil is not as black as he is painted.
The early bird catches the worm.
The end justifies the means.
The exception proves the rule.
The good die young.
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.
The higher the monkey climbs the more he shows his tail.
The higher they rise, the steeper they fall.
The laborer is worthy of his hire.
The leopard can't change his spots.
The lion is not half so fierce as he's painted.
The Lord prefers the common people; that's why he made so many ofthem.
The meek shall inherit the earth.
The more the merrier.
The only way to have a friend is to be one.
The pen is mightier than the sword.
The poet is born, not made.
The pot calls the kettle black.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
The proud hate pride--in others.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
The rolling stone gathers no moss.
The walls have ears.
The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
The wicked hate vice in others.
The worm turns.
There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip.
There are more ways to kill a dog than hanging.
There are other fish in the sea.
There are two sides to every question.
There is a remedy for everything except death.
There is no disputing about tastes.
There is no fool like an old fool.
There is no royal road to learning.
There is no time like the present.
There's no place like home.
There's no rule without an exception.
They also serve who only stand and wait.
Throw mud and some of it will stick.
Time and tide wait for no man.
Time is money.
To err is human, to forgive divine.
To the pure all things are pure.
Tomorrow never comes.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Too much curiosity killed the cat.
Trust in God, and keep your powder dry.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
Truth will out.
Turn about is fair play.
Two can live cheaper than one.
Two heads are better than one.
Two is company, three is a crowd.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Virtue is its own reward.
Walls have ears.
Waste not, want not.
Watch your step.
We are what we eat.
We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
We live and learn.
We must stoop to conquer.
We're here today and gone tomorrow.
Well begun is half done.
What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
What we do in haste we repent at leisure.
What will be, will be.
What's worth doing is worth doing well.
Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.
Whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap.
When angry, count to ten.
When in doubt, leave it out.
When in Rome do as the Romans do.
When one door shuts, another opens.
When the blind lead the blind they all fall into the ditch.
When the cat is away the mice will play.
When the night is darkest the dawn is nearest.
When there is no vision, the people perish.
Where there is a will there is a way.
Where there is smoke, there is fire.
Whom the gods love die young.
You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
You can't draw blood out of a stone.
You can't eat your cake and have it too.
You can't get blood from a turnip.
You can't have it both ways.
You can't judge a book by its cover.
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs.
You can't make bricks without straw.
You can't serve God and Mammon.
You can't take it with you.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
You never know what you can do till you try.
You never miss the water 'till the well runs dry.
You're never too old to learn.
