the world some of the time, but you cannot fool all the world all the time.
A slip of the tongue is no fault of the mind.
God’s help is nearer than the door.
Many a good tree grew on shallow ground.
Though long the fox runs he is caught at last.

Do not put all your eggs in one basket.
A blind man is no judge of colours.
