You can't win for trying.
Close the door, were you born in barn?
There's nothing like a woman scorned.
Dumb as a post.
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
There's no friend like an old friend.
Cold hands, warm heart.
Honesty is the best policy.
Hope is the seed of success.
Love conquers all things

An empty can makes the most noise
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
Another day, another dollar
