For the love of the game

On Shank's mare

Catch the bear before you sell his skin

Business before pleasure

Health is not valued till sickness comes

Never try to prove what nobody doubts

New lords, new laws

Better lose a jest than a friend

Keep your mouth shut and your ears open

All are not friends that speak us fair

He is lifeless that is faultless

Beggars cannot be choosers

By hook or by crook

One man's meat is another man's poison

Still waters run deep

Nothing so bad, as not to be good for something

Even reckoning makes long friends

To fiddle while Rome is burning

That cock won't fight

Creditors have better memories than debtors

A good example is the best sermon

To cook a hare before catching him

Misfortunes never come alone (singly)

To rob one's belly to cover one's back

Idleness is the mother of all evil

Like cures like

From bad to worse

To teach the dog to bark

All asses wag their ears

Every why has a wherefore
