Hunger breaks stone walls

One swallow does not make a summer

A man can die but once

A friend is never known till needed

Honey is sweet, but the bee stings

Calamity is man's true touchstone

Happy is he that is happy in his children

Never cast dirt into that fountain of which you have sometime drunk

Stolen pleasures are sweetest

Every dog is a lion at home

You cannot flay the same ox twice

Fish begins to stink at the head

A rolling stone gathers no moss

A penny soul never came to twopence

He who says what he likes, shall hear what he doesn't like

All roads lead to Rome

There is more than one way to kill a cat

To work with the left hand

By doing nothing we learn to do ill

Keep a thing seven years and you will find a use for it

To make both ends meet

The wind cannot be caught in a net

The darkest hour is that before the dawn

If you laugh before breakfast you'll cry before supper

A burnt child dreads the fire

Last, but not least

Don't put all your eggs in one basket

Two heads are better than one

Patience is a plaster for all sores

Tarred with the same brush
