A man can do no more than he can

To come off cheap

A fool always rushes to the fore

Hard words break no bones

Truth comes out of the mouths of babes and sucklings

There is no rose without a thorn

Hunger is the best sauce

Get a name to rise early, and you may lie all day

The last drop makes the cup run over

Great cry and little wool

Tell that to the marines

Everything is good in its season

He that seeks trouble never misses

A sound mind in a sound body

Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you

Fortune favours the brave (the bold)

As drunk as a lord

A clean fast is better than a dirty breakfast

Each bird loves to hear himself sing

Little knowledge is a dangerous thing

Four eyes see more (better) than two

What can't be cured, must be endured

To know on which side one's bread is buttered

To beat about the bush

The proof of the pudding is in the eating

Better to do well than to say well

Misfortunes tell us what fortune is

We shall see what we shall see

To be wise behind the hand

Better deny at once than promise long
