Prosperity makes friends, and adversity tries them

Self is a bad counsellor

It takes all sorts to make a world

Every man is the architect of his own fortunes

Better the devil you know than the devil you don't

A stitch in time saves nine

Feast today and fast tomorrow

He gives twice who gives in a trice

As innocent as a babe unborn

In every beginning think of the end

Agues come on horseback, but go away on foot

All doors open to courtesy

Honey is not for the ass's mouth

A fair face may hide a foul heart

Bacchus has drowned more men than Neptune

All is not lost that is in peril

Jest with an ass and he will flap you in the face with his tail

To add fuel (oil) to the fire (flames)

To make a mountain out of a molehill

In the country of the blind one-eyed man is a king

Do as you would be done by

Dot your i's and cross your t's

When the fox preaches, take care of your geese

To fight with one's own shadow

Once is no rule (custom)

To plough the sand

It is an ill bird that fouls its own nest

Like mother, like daughter

A fly in the ointment

Hasty climbers have sudden falls
