He who excuses, accuses himself.

A miss is as good as a mile.

There is safety in numbers.

It is ill sitting at Rome and striving with the Pope.

It is the last straw that breaks the camel’s back.

Dream of a funeral and you hear of a marriage.

It is better to be born lucky than rich.

Penny wise and pound foolish.

Where bees are, there is honey.

Straws tell which way the wind blows.

What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Fools build houses and wise men live in them.

Little thieves are hanged, but great ones escape.

Stone-dead hath no fellow.

Devil take the hindmost.

The buyer has need of a hundred eyes, the seller of but one.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Boys will be boys. Girls will be girls.

Help you to salt, help you to sorrow.

Money talks.

There’s no great loss without some gain.

The king can do no wrong.

The last drop makes the cup run over.

Easy come, easy go.

It is never too late to learn.

Pity is akin to love.

Where there’s a will there’s a way.

Talk of the Devil, and he is bound to appear.

When poverty comes in at the door, love flies out of the window.

The company makes the feast.

Give a man rope enough and he will hang himself

Live and learn.

A stream cannot rise above its source.

Everyone speaks well of the bridge which carries him over.

The early man never borrows from the late man.

Charity covers a multitude of sins.

Honey catches more flies than vinegar.

More people know Tom Fool than Tom Fool knows.

Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Little leaks sink the ship.

The longest way round is the shortest way home.
