Tit for Tat (Diamond cut Diamond



The best go first



The course of true love never did run smooth



The devil make it in at the key hole but the door won’t let him out



The great fish eat up the small



The heart of a fool is in his tongue



The joy of the heart makes the face fair



The mill can not grind when the water is dead



The mill of God grinds slowly



The moon is not seen where the sun shines



The mop has many heads but no brian



The more noble, the more humble



The mouse that has but one hole is quickly taken



The last drop makes the cup run over



The last straw breaks the camel’s back



The leopard can not change its spots



The Tailor makes the man



The youth of America is the old tradition for 300 years- Oscar Wilde



There is a black sheep in a flock



There is a crook in the (log?) of everyone



There is a tide in the affairs of man



There is but one step from sublime to the ridiculous



There is many a good tune play on an old fiddle



There is no counting for taste



There is no disputing about tastes



There is no great loss without some gain



There would be no great ones of there were no little ones



Think of the angle and he will be here with wings



Those who are quick to promise are generally slow to perform



The love of monkey is the root of all devil



The wolf may lose it teeth but never its nature



Three removals are as bad as fire



Time past can not be called back again



To drink someone under the table





To know everything is to know nothing



"To live in the past and future is easy. To live in the present is like threading a needle". - Walker Percy



To save time is to lengthen life



Too many cooks spoil the broth



Too much curiosity lost paradise



Too much liberty spoils all



Too much spoils, too little is nothing





True Coral needs no painter’s brush



True love is giving not taking



Truth will prevail



Two blacks don’t make a white



Two dogs strive for a bone, the third runs away with it



Two wrong don’t make a right



Power makes enemy



Union is strength



United we stand divided we fall



Variety is the spice of life





Variety is the spice of life



Velvet paws hide shape claws



Virtue is its own rewards



Virtue never grow old



Wall have ears





Want is the mother of industry



War is death’s feast



War is the sport of King



We are not borne for ourselves



We should never remember the benefit that we receive and the offer that we made

We will get worst before getting better…. Obama



Weight justly and sell dearly



Well begun is half done



Well, there is life there is hope



What is a workman without his tools





What’s done can not be undone



Whats’s done is done



What is ill gotten will be ill spent



What is yours is mine and what’s mine is my own

What is sweet in the mouth is often bitter in the stomach

When in double do nowt ( nowt is an Greek means nothing)

When poverty comes at the door, loves flies out of the door



When the wine is in, the wit is out



Wine and wealth change wise man’s manner



What may be done at anytime is done at no time



When all men say you are an ass, it is time to bray



When greed meet greed , then comes the tug of war



When you lost on the swings, you will get back on the roundabut



What learnt in the cradle lasts till the tomb



What must be must be



Where there is muck, there is brass

Muck and money go together





Where the water is shadow, no vessel will ride



What is the good of suntan in the shade



What is sweet in the mouth is often bitter in the stomach





What the eye does not see the heart does not grieve over



What the heart thinks, the tongue speaks



When the tree is fallen, everyone runs to it with his axe



When the wine is in, the wit is out



When the wolf grows old, the crow rides him



Whenever an ass falletch, there will he never fall again



Wine and wealth change wise man’s manner



When the fox preaches then beware the geese



When the prince fiddles, the subject must dance





When wrath speaks, wisdom fails to face



When the fox peaches, take care of your geese



Where ignorance is bliss, a fool is to be wise



Where there is whispering there is lying

Who keeps company with the wolf will learn to how



Who repairs not his gutters repairs his whole house



Who chatters to you will chatter of you



Who swims in sin shall sink in sorrow



Whom the god loves die young



Wisdom in the mind is better than money in the hands



Wise distrust is the parent of security



Wit without learning is like a tree without fruit



Words pay no debts



Work Today for you know not how much you may be hindered Tomorrow



You don’t get something from nothing



You scratch my back and I will scratch yours



90% of inspiration is respiration
