| An unfortunate man would be drowned in a teacup |
| Anger and haste hinder good counsel |
| Any port in a storm |
| Appearances are deceitful |
| Appetite comes with eating |
| As drunk as a lord |
| As innocent as a babe unborn |
| As like as an apple to an oyster |
| As like as two peas |
| As old as the hills |
| As plain as the nose on a man's face |
| As plain as two and two make four |
| As snug as a bug in a rug |
| As sure as eggs is eggs |
| As the call, so the echo |
| As the fool thinks, so the bell clinks |
| As the old cock crows, so does the young |
| As the tree falls, so shall it lie |
| As the tree, so the fruit |
| As welcome as flowers in May |
| As welcome as water in one's shoes |
| As well be hanged for a sheep as for a lamb |
| As you brew, so must you drink |
| As you make your bed, so must you lie on it |
| As you sow, so shall you reap |
| Ask no questions and you will be told no lies |
| At the ends of the earth |
| Bacchus has drowned more men than Neptune |
| Bad news has wings |
| Barking does seldom bite |
| Be slow to promise and quick to perform |
| Be swift to hear, slow to speak |
| Beauty is but skin-deep |
| Beauty lies in lover's eyes |
| Before one can say Jack Robinson |
| Before you make a friend eat a bushel of salt with him |
| Beggars cannot be choosers |
| Believe not all that you see nor half what you hear |
| Best defence is offence |
| Better a glorious death than a shameful life |
