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

No use pumping a dry well

There is no accounting for tastes

The proof of the pudding is in the eating
