Proverbs

To strain at a gnat and swallow a camel
To take counsel of one's pillow
To take the bull by the horns
To teach the dog to bark
To tell tales out of school
To throw a stone in one's own garden
To throw dust in somebody's eyes
To throw straws against the wind
To treat somebody with a dose of his own medicine
To use a steam-hammer to crack nuts
To wash one's dirty linen in public
To wear one's heart upon one's sleeve
To weep over an onion
To work with the left hand
Tomorrow come never
Too many cooks spoil the broth
Too much knowledge makes the head bald
Too much of a good thing is good for nothing
Too much water drowned the miller
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow
True blue will never stain
True coral needs no painter's brush
Truth comes out of the mouths of babes and sucklings
Truth is stranger than fiction
Truth lies at the bottom of a well
Two blacks do not make a white
Two heads are better than one
Two is company, but three is none
Velvet paws hide sharp claws
Virtue is its own reward
Wait for the cat to jump
Walls have ears
Wash your dirty linen at home
Waste not, want not
We know not what is good until we have lost it
We never know the value of water till the well is dry
We shall see what we shall see
We soon believe what we desire
Wealth is nothing without health
Well begun is half done
