A wonder lasts but nine days

Better the foot slip than the tongue

To come away none the wiser

Too much of a good thing is good for nothing

Little pitchers have long ears

No wisdom like silence

The dogs bark, but the caravan goes on

The cobbler's wife is the worst shod

All are not saints that go to church

To fit like a glove

When the cat is away, the mice will play

Measure for measure

To make (to turn) the air blue

Great barkers are no biters

Believe not all that you see nor half what you hear

Let well (enough) alone

Adversity makes strange bedfellows

Old birds are not caught with chaff

If ifs and ans were pots and pans

He that goes a borrowing, goes a sorrowing

An ass in a lion's skin

Honours change manners

Almost" never killed a fly (was never hanged)"

A blind leader of the blind

When wine is in wit is out

Necessity knows no law

Iron hand (fist) in a velvet glove

All are not hunters that blow the horn

When angry, count a hundred

Good counsel does no harm
