Part 6 (1/2)

Charity begins at home, but does not end there.

Cut your coat according to your cloth.

Do as you would be done by.

Do not halloo till you are out of the wood.

Do not spur a willing horse.

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

Empty vessels make the greatest sound.

Enough is as good as a feast.

Faint heart never won fair lady.

Fine feathers make fine birds.

Fine words b.u.t.ter no parsnips.

Fire and water are good servants, but bad masters.

Grasp all, lose all.

Half a loaf is better than no bread.

Handsome is as handsome does.

Happy is the wooing that is not long in doing.

He that goes a-borrowing goes a-sorrowing.

Hiders are good finders.

Home is home though it be ever so homely.

Honesty is the best policy.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

It is an ill wind that blows n.o.body good.

It is never too late to learn.

It is not the cowl that makes the friar.

It is a long lane that has no turning.

It's a good horse that never stumbles.

It's a sad heart that never rejoices.

Ill weeds grow apace.

Keep a thing for seven years, and you will find a use for it.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Lazy folk take the most pains.

Let sleeping dogs lie.

Let them laugh that win.

Make hay while the sun s.h.i.+nes.

Many a true word is spoken in jest.

Many hands make light work.

Marry in haste, repent at leisure.

Never look a gift horse in the mouth.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Old birds are not to be caught with chaff.

Old friends and old wine are best.
