A covetous man is good to none but worst to himself

If we can’t as we would, we must do as we can

If two men ride on a horse, one must sit behind

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof

Velvet paws hide sharp claws

Stop beating around the bush

An apple a day keeps the doctor away

Time and tide for no man

Everything must have a beginning

Idleness rusts the mind

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again

A watched pot never boils

A great ship asks deep waters

Little and often fills the purse

No bees, no honey; no work, no money

Diamond cut diamond

First impressions are most lasting

A good deed is never lost

Give and take

Every bird likes its own nest
