things come to those who wait All things must pass All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All you need is love All's fair in love and war All's for the best in the best of all possible worlds All's well that ends well A miss is as good as a mile An apple a day keeps the doctor away An army marches on its stomach An Englishman's home is his castle An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure Another day, another dollar  Any port in a storm April showers bring forth May flowers As you make your bed, so you must lie upon it As you sow so shall you reap Ask a silly question and

have them do to you Don't bite the hand that feeds you Don't burn your bridges behind you Don't cast your pearls before swine Don't change horses in midstream Don't count your chickens before they are hatched Don't cross the bridge till you come to it Don't cut off your nose to spite your face Don't keep a dog and bark yourself Don't let the bastards grind you down Don't look a gift horse in the
