Proverbs

The last drop makes the cup run over
The last straw breaks the camel's back
The leopard cannot change its spots
The longest day has an end
The mill cannot grind with the water that is past
The moon does not heed the barking of dogs
The more haste, the less speed
The more the merrier
The morning sun never lasts a day
The mountain has brought forth a mouse
The nearer the bone, the sweeter the flesh
The pitcher goes often to the well but is broken at last
The pot calls the kettle black
The proof of the pudding is in the eating
The receiver is as bad as the thief
The remedy is worse than the disease
The rotten apple injures its neighbours
The scalded dog fears cold water
The tailor makes the man
The tongue of idle persons is never idle
The voice of one man is the voice of no one
The way (the road) to hell is paved with good intentions
The wind cannot be caught in a net
The work shows the workman
There are lees to every wine
There are more ways to the wood than one
There is a place for everything, and everything in its place
There is more than one way to kill a cat
There is no fire without smoke
There is no place like home
There is no rose without a thorn
There is no rule without an exception
There is no smoke without fire
There's many a slip 'tween (== between) the cup and the lip
There's no use crying over spilt milk
They are hand and glove
They must hunger in winter that will not work in summer
Things past cannot be recalled
Think today and speak tomorrow
Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones
