kill the goose that lays the golden eggs


you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours


you could have knocked me down with a feather


we'll cross that bridge when we come to it


a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush


do unto others as you would have them do unto you


don't count your chickens before they hatch


an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure


hear something straight from the horse's mouth


those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones


you can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar


you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink


you can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs


don't count your chickens before they've hatched


caught with one's hand in the cookie jar


the shoemaker's son always goes barefoot


the apple doesn't fall far from the tree


you pays your money and you takes your choice


lock the stable door after the horse has bolted


it is a poor workman who blames his tools


your belly button is bigger than your stomach
