"Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us" (Oscar Wilde)

Actions speak louder than words.

"Better late than never."

Confessing a fault makes half amends for it.

Be not the first to quarrel, not the last to make it up.

To put the (plough) cart before the (oxen) horse.

Don't do others what you wouldn't have done to you.

Necessity knows no law.

Let sleeping (cat) dogs lie.

No man is a prophet in his own country.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Idleness is the mother of all vice.

You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.

You recognize the tree by its fruits.

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

No news, is good news.

Who loves well, punishes well.

Who lives by the sword, shall die by the sword.

Who risks nothing, has nothing.

Who sows the wind, reaps the storm.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Who wishes the end, wishes the means.

He who laughs last, laughs longest.

If only youth knew, if only old-age could.

Like father, like son.

All's well that ends well.

Everything comes to him who waits.

A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.

Where there is a will, there's a way.

"If all good people were clever, and all clever people were good,
this world would be nicer than ever we thought that possibly could."
( Wordsworth )

While there's life, there's hope.

Wise men change their mind, fools, never.

Fools build houses for the wise to live in.

Waste not, want not.

Honesty is the best policy.

All is not gold that glitters

He that is warm thinks all so.

Ask much to have little.

Never fish in troubled waters.

No rose without a thorn.

Money makes the mare go.

Great trees keep down the little ones.

A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder.

One swallow does not make a spring.

Solitude is often the best society.
