All
good things come to an end:
All’s
fair in love and war:
All’s
well that ends well:
All
roads lead to Rome:
All
that glitters is not gold:
As
you make your bed, so you must lie in it:
Barking
dogs seldom bite (people
who often lose their temper and shout in a loud voice are not
really to be feared because they are usually harmless):
Beauty
is only skin deep:
Beggars
can’t be choosers (
when
we are not in a position to choose we should be thankful for any
offer which is made to us, even if is is not exactly what we would
like):
Better
late than never:
Better
the devil you know than the devil you don’t know:
A
bird in the hand is worth two in the bush:
Clothes
do not make the man:
Do
as you would be done by:
Don’t
count your chickens before they hatch (Do
not be sure of success until all difficulties have been overcome):
Don’t
have too many irons in the fire:
Don’t
make a mountain out of a molehill:
Don’t
put all your eggs in one basket:
Don’t
put the cart before the horse:
The
early bird catches the worm:
Every
why has a wherefore:
Everything
comes to him who waits:
An
eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth:
First
things first:
Half
a loaf is better than none:
Help
a lame dog over a stile ( One
should give help to anyone who is in difficulties):
It’s
an ill wind that blows nobody any good:
It’s
never too late to mend:
It’s
no use crying over spilt milk:
It
never rains but it pours:
It
takes two to make a quarrel:
Learn
to walk before you run:
Many
hands make light work:
More
haste, less speed:
Never
look a gift horse in the mouth:
Never
put off till tomorrow what you can do today:
No
gain without pain:
One
good turn deserves another (
if a person has received help from someone, it is fair to help him
in return):
Out
of sight, out of mind:
Rome
was not built in a day:
A
stitch in time saves nine (prompt
action will prevent a lot of trouble later):
Strike
while the iron is hot:
Time
is money:
Too
many cooks spoil the broth:
Where
one door shuts another opens:
When
the cat’s away the mice will play:
Where
there’s a will there’s a way:
While
there’s life there’s hope:
A
word is enough to the wise:
You
can’t have your cake and eat it:
You
scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours:
