He who hesitates is lost.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
Don't beat your head against a stone wall.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
Don't cross the bridge until you come to it.
Two heads are better than one.
Paddle your own canoe.
Haste makes waste.
Time waits for no man.
You're never too old to learn.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
Talk is cheap.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
Nice guys finish last.
Hitch your wagon to a star.
Don't bite off more that you can chew.
Many hands make light work.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Don't judge a book by its cover.
Clothes make the man.
The squeaking wheel gets the grease.
Silence is golden.
All good things come to those who wait.
BUT
Time and tide wait for no man.
The pen is mightier than the sword.
BUT
Actions speak louder than words.
Wise men think alike.
BUT
Fools seldom differ.
The best things in life are free things..
BUT
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Slow and steady wins the race.
BUT
Time waits for no man.
Look before you leap.
BUT
Strike while the iron is hot.
Do it well, or not at all.
BUT
Half a loaf is better than none.
Birds of a feather flock together.
BUT
Opposites attract.
Don't cross your bridges before you come to them.
BUT
Forewarned is forearmed.
Doubt is the beginning of wisdom.
BUT
Faith will move mountains.
Great starts make great finishes.
BUT
It ain't over 'till it's over.
Practice makes perfect.
BUT
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Silence is golden.
BUT
The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
You're never too old to learn.
BUT
You can't teach an old dog new tricks
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
BUT
One man's food is another man's poison.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
BUT
Out of sight, out of mind.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
BUT
Many hands make light work.
Hold fast to the words of your ancestors.
BUT
Wise men make proverbs and fools repeat them.
You're never too old to learn
You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Familiarity breeds contempt
Better the devil you know
Great minds think alike
Idiots seldom differ
Haste makes waste.
He who hesitates is lost.
Birds of a feather flock together
Opposites attract
Divide and rule.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Out of sight is out of mind
Many hands make light work
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
