To cry with one eye and laugh with the other

A danger foreseen is half avoided

The way (the road) to hell is paved with good intentions

Two blacks do not make a white

No longer pipe, no longer dance

Better unborn than untaught

To set the wolf to keep the sheep

Put not your hand between the bark and the tree

We know not what is good until we have lost it

As welcome as flowers in May

Liars need good memories

A cracked bell can never sound well

He who would search for pearls must dive below

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do (can be done) today

He smells best that smells of nothing

A wager is a fool's argument

Money has no smell

Live not to eat, but eat to live

He is happy that thinks himself so

To draw water in a sieve

A cock is valiant on his own dunghill

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

He will never set the Thames on fire

No man loves his fetters, be they made of gold

There's no use crying over spilt milk

To strain at a gnat and swallow a camel

Need makes the old wife trot

Company in distress makes trouble less

The pen is mightier than the sword.

Handsome is that handsome does
