When Adam delved and Even span, who was then the gentleman?

If there were no receivers, there would be no thieves.

He that touches pitch shall be defiled.

A reed before the wind lives on, while mighty oaks do fall.

More haste, less speed.

Time flies.

It’s too late to shut the stable-door after the horse has bolted.

In vain the net is spread in the sight of the bird.

Do not throw pearls to swine.

Homer sometimes nods.

Much would have more.

We must learn to walk before we can run.

The more the merrier.

Out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.

Enough is as good as a feast.

No smoke without fire.

Murder will out.

What must be, must be.

A guilty conscience needs no accuser.

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.
