• All men are created equal
  
• All's well that ends well
  
• An idle mind is the devil's workshop
  
• As the twig is bent, so shall the tree grow
  
• As you make your bed, you must lie in it
  
• Beauty is only skin deep
  
• Better half a loaf than no bread at all
  
• Blood is thicker than water
  
• Bread is the staff of life
  
• Charity begins at home
  
• Cleanliness is next to godliness
  
• Confession is good for the soul
  
• Every cloud has a silver lining
  
• Familiarity breeds contempt
  
• Give the devil his due
  
• God helps those who help themselves
  
• God is in heaven, and all is right with the world
  
• God moves in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform
  
• God's mill grinds slow but true
  
• Honest is the best policy
  
• Idle hands are the devil's workshop
  
• Lord, what fools these mortals be
  
• Money is the root of all evil
  
• Neither a borrower nor a lender be
  
• Spare the rod and spoil the child
  
• Sweet are the uses of adversity
  
• The gift without the giver is bare
  
• The time is out of joint
  
• There is none so blind as he who will not see
  
• To err is human, to forgive, divine
  
• United we stand, divided we fall
  
• When in Rome do as the Romans do
  
• Take it with the grain of salt
