  1. (continued from previous page)
    mountains will never meet.
    What is good for the goose isn't bad for the gander.
    Age and want are an ill-matched pair.
    God never closed one door but he opened another.
    You couldn't expect a robin out of a hawk's nest.
    It's not the race to the swift or the battle to the brave.
    It's a bad war when all's slain.
    The darkest hour's before the dawn.
    Silk and satin put out the kitchen fire.
    Practice makes perfect.
    The wise man changes his mind, the fool never.
    Out of sight, out of mind.
    Still water runs deep.
    Once bitten, twice shy.
    A cat gets leave to look at the queen.
