A man is judged by his deeds, not by his words.
A man is known by the company he keeps.
A miserly father makes a prodigal son.
A miss is as good as a mile.
A moneyless man goes fast through the market
A monkey in silk is a monkey no less
A new broom sweeps clean.
A nod from a lord is a breakfast for a fool.
A nod is as good as a wink.
A penny saved is a penny gained.
A penny soul never came to twopence.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
A place for everything and everything in its place.
A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country.
A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder.
A rising tide lifts all boats.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet
A rotten apple spoils the barrel.
A round peg in a square hole.
A ship in the harbor is safe, but that is not what a ship is for.
A short horse is soon curried,
A shut mouth catches no flies,
A shy cat makes a proud mouse.
A silent fool is counted wise.
A slice off a cut loaf isn’t missed
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 straw will show which way the wind blows
A stumble may prevent a fall.
A swallow does not make the summer.
A thief knows a thief as a wolf knows a wolf.
A thief passes for a gentleman when stealing has made him rich.
A thing begun is half done.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
A threatened blow is seldom given.
A tidy house holds a bored woman.
A tree is known by its fruit.
A wager is a fool’s argument.
A watched pot never boils.
A wise head keeps a still tongue
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.
A young idler, an old beggar.
Absence is the mother of disillusion
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Accidents will happen, in the best regulated families.
Acting like a chicken with its head cut-off
Actions speak louder than words.
Admiration is the daughter of ignorance
Adversity is a great schoolmaster.
Adversity is the only balance to weigh friends.
Adversity makes strange bedfellows.
Advice is least heeded when most needed.
