To be head over ears in debt

Life is not a bed of roses

The devil rebuking sin

Little chips light great fires

Wash your dirty linen at home

Happiness takes no account of time

A thief knows a thief as a wolf knows a wolf

Death is the grand leveller

A good wife makes a good husband

All promises are either broken or kept

Good masters make good servants

Where there's a will, there's a way

To carry coals to Newcastle

He that mischief hatches, mischief catches

Wealth is nothing without health

A hard nut to crack

When three know it, alt know it

East or West ? home is best

Better give a shilling than lend a half-crown

Don't keep a dog and bark yourself

A close mouth catches no flies

There is no smoke without fire

Give a fool rope enough, and he will hang himself

He knows much who knows how to hold his tongue

All are not merry that dance lightly

A word is enough to the wise

He that serves everybody is paid by nobody

Never cackle till your egg is laid

Love will creep where it may not go

Hawks will not pick hawks' eyes
