A castle in the air. |
A chip off the old block. |
A cock of the loft. |
A fox in lamb’s skin. |
A honey tongue, a heart of gall. |
A jack of both sides. |
A jack of all trades is master of none. |
A narrow escape. |
A rolling stone gathers no moss. |
A snake in the grass. |
All that glistens is not gold. |
An old head on young shoulders. |
As easy as ABC. |
Bad workmen often blame their tools. |
Be driven to the last ditch. |
Be on a razor’s edge. |
Be unable to make head or tail of it. |
Beat about the bush. |
Better bend than break. |
Better the foot slip than the tongue. |
Big fish eat little fish. |
Bitter pills may have wholesome effects. |
Black sheep. |
Blood is thicker than water. |
Blow behind one’s back. |
Call white black |
Cast one’s bread upon the water. |
Conscience does make cowards of us all. |
Constant dropping wears away the stone. |
Cry for the moon. |
Cut one’s coat according to one’s cloth. |
Diamond cuts diamond. |
Do not cast your pearls before swine. |
Don’t teach your grandmother to suck eggs. |
Double faced. |
Every tub must stand on its own bottom |
Fine feathers make fine birds. |
Work out |
Gild a pill. |
Give as good as one gets. |
Hate each other like poison. |
Hold with the hare and run with hands. |
