It is better to live one day like a lion than a hundred like a sheep.

Sticks and stones may break your bones but names will never hurt you.

Red sky at night, sailors delight.
Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning.

Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.

Loose lips sink ships.

It's an ill wind that blows no good.

In for a penny in for a pound.

Too many cooks spoil the broth.

Too err is human, to forgive is divine.

One person's garbage is another person's treasure.

Never say die until the poor man pokes you in the eye.

You can't tell a book by its cover.

A thousand mile journey begins with a single step.

The pen is mightier than the sword.

Fools rush in where angels dear to thread.

You don't lock the barn door after the horse is gone.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Don't paint yourself into a corner.

You can't con a con.

Cleanliness is next to godliness.

Look before you leap.
