AMERICAN ENGLISH PROVERBS

Action speak louder than words

After the feast comes the reckoning

All that glitters is not gold

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

Bad news travels fast

Barking dogs seldom bite

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Beggars can't be choosers

The best things in life are free

Better late than never

Better safe than sorry

The bigger they are, the harder they fall

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

Birds of a feather flock together

Blood is thicker than water

Charity begins at home

Clothes do not make the man

Curiosity kills the cat

Do as I say, not as I do

Don't bite off more than you can chew

Don't bite the hand that feeds you

Don't cry over split milk

Don't judge a man until you've walked n his boots

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth

Don't put all your eggs in one basket

Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today

Don't put the cart before the horse

The first step is always the hardest

A fool and his money are soon parted

A friend in need is a friend indeed

A friend who shares is a friend who cares

Good things come in small packages

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence

He who laughs last, laughs best

If at first you don't succeed, try, and try again

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

In unity there is strength

It takes two to tango

Leave well enough alone

A leopard cannot change his spots

Lighting never strikes twice in the same place

Look before you leap

Love is blind

Love makes the world go round

Make hay while the sun shines

Man does not live by bread alone

A man is known by the company he keeps

Might makes it right

Misery loves company

Money does not grow on trees

Neccessity is the mother of invention

No news is good news

No pain, no gain

Nothing hurts like the truth

Old habits die hard

One good turn deserves another

One man's gravy is another man's poison

One shallow doesn not a summer make

The pen is mighter than sword

Practice makes perfect

The proof of the pudding is in the eating

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

Rome wasn't built in a day

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak

The squeaking wheel gets the oil

Strike while the iron is hot

There is no honor among thieves

There's more than one way to skin a cat

There's no fool like an old fool

There's no place like home

Too many chiefs, not enough Indians

Too many cooks spoil the broth

Two heads are better than one

Variety is the spice of life

When in Rome do as Romans do

When the cat's away the mice will play

When there's smoke, there's fire

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink

You can't have your cake and eat it too

You have to take the good with the bad

You reap what you sow
