Birds of a feather flock together.

Opposites attract.

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

The clothes make the man.

The early bird gets the worm.

Better late than never.

Never give up.

Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. — Dalai Lama

Try and fail, but don’t fail to try.

Better safe than sorry.

You are never too old to learn.

You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

Be about actions, not distractions.

Stop and smell the roses.

Strike while the iron is hot.

Look before you leap.

Many hands make light work.

Too many cooks spoil the broth.

Actions speak louder than words.

The pen is mightier than the sword.



Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

A man who does not plan long ahead will find trouble at his door. — Confucius



The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

The nail that stands up gets hammered down.



An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Turn the other cheek.



If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
