Birds of a feather flock together. Children are not to be blamed for the faults of their parents. Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid. Do nothing without a regard to the consequences. Don't make much ado about nothing.
Equals make the best friends.
Every man for himself. Evil wishes, like chickens, come home to roost. Fair weather friends are not worth much. Fine feathers don't make fine birds. Happy is the man who learns from the misfortunes of others.
