The frog in the well knows nothing of the great ocean
The furthest way about is the nearest way home.
The game is not worth the candle..
The Gods send nuts to those who have no teeth
The golden age was never the present age,
The good is the enemy of the best.
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
The greater the sinner, the greater the saint
The greater the truth, the greater the libel
The grey mare is the better horse
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world
The harder the storm, the sooner it’s over,
The higher the ape goes, the more he shows his tail.
The labourer is worthy of his hire
The last drop makes the cup run over.
The last straw breaks the camel’s back.
The longest way round is the shortest way home.
The man who has once been bitten by a snake fears every piece of rope.
The mill cannot grind with the water that is past.
The mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding fine.
The moon does not heed the barking of dogs.
The more the merrier.
The more you get the more you want
The morning sun never lasts a day.
The mother of mischief is no bigger than a midge's wing
The mountains are high, and the emperor is far away
The nail that sticks up gets hammered down
The nearer the bone, the sweeter the flesh.
The nearer the church, the farhter form God
The opera isn't over till the fat lady sings.
The pitcher goes often to the well but is broken at last.
The pot calls the kettle black.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
The quarrel of lovers is the renewal of love,
the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong
The rain falls on the just and the unjust alike.
The receiver is as bad as the thief.
The remedy is worse than the disease.
The rich man has his ice in the summer and the poor man gets his in the winter,
The rotten apple injures its neighbours.
The same fire that melts the butter hardens the egg.
The sea refuses no river,
The shoemaker’s child always goes barefoot,
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
The tailor makes the man.
The thin end of the wedge
The tongue of idle persons is never idle.
The truth is in the wine.
The used key is always bright
The voice of one man is the voice of no one.
The way to hell is paved with good intentions.
The wind cannot be caught in a net.
The wolf changes his coat, not his nature.
The work shows the workman.
There are lees to every wine.
There are more ways of killing a cat than by choking it with cream
There are more ways to the wood than one.
There are no birds in last year's nest.
There are plenty more fish in the sea
There are two sides to every question.
