Good fences make good neighbours.

You are never too old to learn.

It's easy to be wise after the event.

Too many cooks spoil the broth.

It's no use shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.

While there is life, there is hope.

Better safe than sorry.

Persuasion is better than force.

Practice makes perfect.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.

Time and tide wait for no one.

Nothing succeeds like success.

Be slow in choosing, but slower in changing.

Nothing is certain but death and taxes.

Opportunity never knocks twice at any man's door.

It takes two to make a quarrel.

You reap what you sow.

Empty bags cannot stand upright.

Horses for courses.

A watched pot never boils.

Another day, another dollar.

Ashes to ashes; dust to dust.

There but for the grace of God, go I.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Red sky at night shepherd's delight; red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning.

Don't cast pearls before swine.

Don't test the depth of water with both feet.

Crime doesn't pay.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

In the kingdom of the blind the one eyed man is king.

It's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease.

Shrouds have no pockets.

The bottom line is the bottom line.

Don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

You can't see the forest for the trees.

Nothing new under the sun.

What can't be cured must be endured.

It takes a thief to catch a thief.

Put your best foot forward.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

It's an ill wind that blows no one any good.

Marry in haste, repent at leisure.

Don't meet troubles half-way.

Don't change horses in midstream.

A thing begun is half done.

Strike while the iron is hot.

Walnuts and pears you plant for your heirs.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Every man for himself, and the Devil take the hindmost.
