- Laugh and the world will laugh with you
Weep and you weep alone.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Dead men don't bite.
fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
The truth is often very bitter.
It is not a secret if three know it.
A bird in the hand is worth two in (bush) the bush
A stitch in time saves nine.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Too late to spare when all is spent.
Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
The darkest hour is before the dawn.
There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.
It is better late than never.
Never put off until tomorrow when you can do today.
After a storm comes a calm.
There are none so blind as they that will not see.
The longest way round is the shortest way home.
She pays him in his own coin.(continues on next page)
