A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
A black plum is as sweet as a white
A book holds a house of gold
A book is like a garden carried in the pocket
A bus is a vehicle that runs twice as fast when you are after it as when you are in it
A friend is not so soon gotten as lost
A friend to all is a friend to none
A gentle heart is tied with an easy thread
A gentleman without an estate is a pudding without suet
A gift given in secret soothes anger, and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath
A golden key opens all doors
A good beginning makes a good ending
A good conscience is the best divinity
A good denial, the best point in law
A scalded cat fears cold water
A shining example
A short absence quickens love, a long absence kills it
A slap on the back is only a few inches away from a kick in the butt
A slip of the tongue is no fault of the mind and he who laughs is very unkind
A sly rabbit will have three openings to its den
A Small Spark Makes a Great Fire
A soft answer turneth away wrath
A sprat to catch a mackerel
