Common sense ain't common You can't teach an old dog new tricks
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will break my spirit Common sense ain't common The only stupid question is the one that is not asked This has a parallel in Chaucer, Murder will out Never say die Better safe than sorry Possible Interpretation: One can get more cooperation from others by being nice It's not the size of the boat Honey catches more flies than vinegar Don't cross a bridge until you come to it The key to all action lies in belief Keep your eyes on the sun and you will not see the shadows Actions speak louder than words Who guards the guards? You can't judge a book by its cover The way to a man's heart is through his stomach (attributed to Ania Ras, Poland) Talk is cheap Beauty may open doors but only virtue enters A fox smells its own lair first and A fox smells its own stink first There is no 'I' in TEAM, but there is a ME Absence makes the heart grow fonder An apple a day keeps the doctor away Possible Interpretation: Do the task while it is possible The pitcher goes so often to the well that it comes home broken at last If words could only speak, they'd mean even less Possible Interpretation: Everybody needs other people Never judge the book by its cover Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer Give a dog a bad name and hang him Possible Interpretation: All style and no substance It ain't over till the fat lady sings From William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar All sizzle and no steak People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones Men age like wine; women age like milk Speak of the devil and he shall appear Possible Interpretation: living life to its fullest Starve a cold, feed a fever Give respect take respect The best way to get someone to stop digging his heels in is to dig out the sand around him Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, shame on me Green leaves and brown leaves fall from the same tree
