BUT Half a loaf is better than none. An old fox is not easily snared. BUT There's no fool like an old fool. A good beginning makes a good ending. BUT It's not over till it's over.
Blood is thicker than water.
BUT Many kinfolk, few friends. Practice makes perfect. BUT All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. If you lie down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas. BUT If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
