| A man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds |
| A miserly father makes a prodigal son |
| A miss is as good as a mile |
| A new broom sweeps clean |
| A nod from a lord is a breakfast for a fool |
| A penny saved is a penny gained |
| A penny soul never came to twopence |
| A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder |
| A rolling stone gathers no moss |
| A round peg in a square hole |
| A shy cat makes a proud mouse |
| A silent fool is counted wise |
| A small leak will sink a great ship |
| A soft answer turns away wrath |
| A sound mind in a sound body |
| A stitch in time saves nine |
| A storm in a teacup |
| A tattler is worse than a thief |
| A thief knows a thief as a wolf knows a wolf |
| A thief passes for a gentleman when stealing has made him rich |
| A threatened blow is seldom given |
| A tree is known by its fruit |
| A wager is a fool's argument |
| A watched pot never boils |
| A wise man changes his mind, a fool never will |
| A wolf in sheep's clothing |
| A wonder lasts but nine days |
| A word is enough to the wise |
| A word spoken is past recalling |
| Actions speak louder than words |
| Adversity is a great schoolmaster |
| Adversity makes strange bedfellows |
| After a storm comes a calm |
| After dinner comes the reckoning |
| After dinner sit (sleep) a while, after supper walk a mile |
| After rain comes fair weather |
| After us the deluge |
| Agues come on horseback, but go away on foot |
| All are good lasses, but whence come the bad wives? |
| All are not friends that speak us fair |
