The best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley
He that hath a full purse never wanted a friend
If you want something done ask a busy person
Curiosity killed the cat
Bad money drives out good
First thoughts are best
Do not sell the skin till you have caught the bear
Pleasures of the mighty are the tears of the poor
The bigger they are the harder they fall
When one door shuts another opens
Nothing so bad but might have been worse
Fair in the cradle and foul in the saddle
There is truth in wine
Good languages cures great sores
You cannot put an old head on young shoulders
Better wed over the mixen than over the moor
There’s nowt so queer as folk
In wine there is truth
You cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs
Don’t put the cart before the horse
Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see
Destroy the lion while he is yet but a whelp
On the first of march the crows begin to search
A postern door makes a thief
No one believes a liar even when he tells the truth
The devil is not so black as he is painted
One good turn deserves another
Desire has no rest
The sea refuses no river
