Proverbs

Tastes differ
Tell that to the marines
That cock won't fight
That which one least anticipates soonest comes to pass
That's a horse of another colour
That's where the shoe pinches!
The beggar may sing before the thief (before a footpad)
The best fish smell when they are three days old
The best fish swim near the bottom
The best is oftentimes the enemy of the good
The busiest man finds the most leisure
The camel going to seek horns lost his ears
The cap fits
The cask savours of the first fill
The cat shuts its eyes when stealing cream
The cat would eat fish and would not wet her paws
The chain is no stronger than its weakest link
The cobbler should stick to his last
The cobbler's wife is the worst shod
The darkest hour is that before the dawn
The darkest place is under the candlestick
The devil is not so black as he is painted
The devil knows many things because he is old
The devil lurks behind the cross
The devil rebuking sin
The dogs bark, but the caravan goes on
The Dutch have taken Holland !
The early bird catches the worm
The end crowns the work
The end justifies the means
The evils we bring on ourselves are hardest to bear
The exception proves the rule
The face is the index of the mind
The falling out of lovers is the renewing of love
The fat is in the fire
The first blow is half the battle
The furthest way about is the nearest way home
The game is not worth the candle
The heart that once truly loves never forgets
The higher the ape goes, the more he shows his tail
