The more you get the more you want.

The pitcher will go to the well once too often.

Every man for himself.

Nothing comes of nothing.

Never is a long time.

What you spend, you have.

The cowl does not make the monk.

The nearer the church, the farther from God.

When the wine is in, the wit is out.

Everything has an end.

Patience is a virtue.

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

The dog returns to it’s vomit.

Art is long and life is short.

The nearer the bone, the sweeter the meat.

While the grass grows, the steed starves.

Great oaks from little acorns grow.

Practise what you preach.

Silence means consent.

Everyone stretches his legs according to the length of his coverlet.

Ask a silly question and you get a silly answer.

Curses, like chickens, come home to roost.

Be what you would seem to be.
