"My eyes
seek reality..."
- A bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush
- A drop in the ocean
- A fly in the oinment
- All talk and no cider
- As cheap as dirt
- As like as two peas
- As sharp as a needle
- As sure as eggs is eggs
- Bag of bones
- Between the devil and
the deep sea
- Diamond cut diamond
- Don't halloo until
you're out of the wood
- Don't look a gift horse
in the mouth
- Door-wide shoulder
- Drunk as a lord
- Every cloud has a
silver lining
- Every dog has his day
- Eye for eye
- From bad to worse
- He has a ready tongue
- He knows how many beans
make five
- If ifs and ans were
pots and pans
- In at one ear and out
at the other
- In for a penny in for a
pound
- Is not fit to hold a
candle to
- It breaks the camel's
back
- It's not all a bed of
roses
- It's plain as a
bumble-bee on a fried egg
- No room to swing a cat
- No sooner said than
done
- Not a pin a choose
between them
- Not for the world
- Not to let grass grow
under one's feet
- Not worth a curse
- Nothing venture,
nothing have
- Off and on
- Once bitten twice shy
- Once upon a time there
was
- One good turn deserver
another
- Practice make perfect
- Self comes first
- Skeleton of the one and
half dozen of the other
- Speech is silver but
silence is gold
- Take care of the pance
and the pounds will take care of themselves
- Talk of the devil and
he will appear
- Tarred with the same
brush
- Tastes differ
- That's where the shoe
pinches
- The biter bit
- The early bird catches
the worm
- The fat is in the fire
- The feather one's nest
- The game is not worth a
candle
- There is no use to cry
over spilt milk
- To add fuel to the
flames
- To be born with a
silver spoon in one's mouth
- To be on pins needle
- To beat the air
- To break a fly up on
the wheel
- To come back as wise as
one went
- To cook one's own goose
- To drop from the skies
- To find a mare's-nest
- To get off with a whole
skin
- To go out of one's way
- To go with a run
- To have sleep on it
- To have too much tongue
- To knock into the
middle of next week
- To let bygones be
bygones
- To lie on the bed one
has made
- To make or mar
- To measure others' corn
by one's own bushel
- To play monkey
- To play with fire
- To plough the sand
- To poke and pry
- To sink or swim
- To take the gilt off
the gingerbread
- To teach one's
grandmother to stuck eggs
- To tell tales out of
school
- To work up to the
collar
- Two heads are better
than one
- We'll see how the cat
jumps
- Wise behindhand
- You can't eat your cake
and have it too
- You might have heard a
pin fail
