'tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.

There's safety in numbers.

The darkest hour is just before the dawn.

Marry in haste, repent at leisure.

Youth is wasted on the young.

Genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains.

There's no fool like an old fool.

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

Be slow in choosing, but slower in changing.

Parsley seed goes nine times to the Devil.

Moderation in all things.

He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day.

A poor worker blames the tools.

The bread always falls buttered side down.

Distance lends enchantment to the view.

Every stick has two ends.

In the midst of life we are in death.

You are never too old to learn.

Christmas comes but once a year.

The Devil looks after his own.

If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

The best-laid plans go astray.

Let the buyer beware.

Pride comes before a fall.

The harder you work, the luckier you get.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Quid pro quo.

Actions speak louder than words.

Time and tide wait for no one.

An man's home is his castle.

The wages of sin is death.

Don't let the bastards grind you down.

The bigger, the better.

Easy come, easy go.

Blue are the hills that are far away.

Love makes the world go round.

All you need is love.

Life's not all beer and skittles.

Old soldiers never die, they simply fade away.

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

Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

There is honour among thieves.

There is many a good tune played on an old fiddle.

Live and learn.

Birds of a feather flock together.

If ifs and ands were pots and pans there'd be no work for tinkers.

Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

It takes two to tango.

Live for today, for tomorrow never comes.
