    All that glitters is not gold.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Every cloud has a silver lining.
    There's many a slip between the cup and the lip.
    Once bitten twice shy.
    The more rain the more rest, too much fine weather was never the best.
    Never take the book by the cover.
    That you may live long and die happy.
    I was up at cock crow.
    That day would take the whiskers of a monkey.
    Its a good day for young ducks.
    Its raining cats and dogs.
