A bad Workman Blames His Tools
A bird in the hand worth ten in the bush
A burnt child dreads fire
A cat has nine lives
A cock crows on his own dunghill
A drowning man will clutch a straw
a fox is not taken twice in the same snare
A friend in need is a friend indeed
A guilty conscience needs no accuser
A hungry man is an angry man
A jack-of-all trades master of none
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
A living dog is better than a dead lion
A man can do no more than he can
A man can not serve two masters
A man is known by the company he keeps
A man's house is his castle
A penny saved is a penny gained
A prophet is not without an honor save in his own country
A secret between more than two is not secret
A soft answer turneth a way wrath
