a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link
a diamond is forever
a drop in the bucket
a fool and his money are soon parted
a foot in the door
a friend in need is a friend indeed
a good beginning makes a good ending
a good head on his shoulders
a good man is hard to find
a head for figures
a heart of gold
a heart to heart talk
a heart-warming experience
a horse a horse my kingdom for a horse
a house divided against itself cannot stand
a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
a kick in the teeth
a leopard cannot change its spots
a little knowledge is a dangerous thing
a little of what you fancy does you good
a man after his own heart
a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do
a miss is as good as a mile
a multitude of sins
a new broom sweeps clean
a nod’s as good as a wink to a blind horse
a nose for crime
a nose for trouble
a pain in the ass
a penny saved is a penny earned
a person is known by the company he keeps
a picture paints a thousand words
a place for everything and everything in its place
a price on his head
a problem shared is a problem halved
a rolling stone gathers no moss
a rose by any other name would smell as sweet
a shot in the arm
a shot in the dark
a smack on the wrist
a small step for man a giant leap for mankind
a stitch in time saves nine
a volunteer is worth twenty pressed men
a watched pot never boils
a well turned calf
a woman’s work is never done
absence makes the heart grow fonder
absolute power corrupts absolutely
actions speak louder than words
all good things come to he who waits
all mouth and trousers
all that glisters is not gold
all the world loves a lover
all things must pass
all things to all men
all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
all’s fair in love and war
all’s well that ends well
am I my brother’s keeper
an affair of the heart
an albatross round his neck
an apple a day keeps the doctor away
an ear for music
an Englishman’s home is his castle
an eye for a bargain
an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth
an iron fist in velvet glove
an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
armed to the teeth
as cold as a well digger’s ass
as crooked as a dog’s hind leg
as far as the eye can see
as good luck would have it
as long as my arm
as merry as the day is long
as old as Methuselah
as old as the hills
as plain as the nose on your face
as pleased as punch
as pure as the driven snow
as scarce as hen’s teeth
as the saying goes
as useless as tits on a boar
as you sow so shall you reap
ashes to ashes dust to dust
ask no questions and hear no lies
at his wits end
at one fell swoop
at the end of his tether
attack is the best form of defense
bad hair day
banging your head against a brick wall
bare one’s teeth
barking dogs seldom bite
be it on your head
beast with two backs
beauty is in the eye of the beholder
beauty is only skin deep
beggars can’t be choosers
behind every great man there’s a great woman
bend your ear
better late than never
better safe than sorry
better the devil you know than the devil you don’t
better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
bird’s eye view
birds of a feather flock together
bite the dust
bite the hand that feeds you
bite your head off
bite your tongue
blast from the past
blessed are the peacemakers
blood is thicker than water
born with a silver spoon in his mouth
boys will be boys
bring to a head
brothers in arms
bury your head in the sand
butterflies in my stomach
button your lip
by the hairs on my chinny chin chin
by the skin of your teeth
by the sweat of his brow
can’t make heads or tails of it
can’t see beyond the end of your nose
cap in hand
case the joint
caught with your hand in the till
caught with your hand in the cookie jar
change of heart
charity begins at home
chip on his shoulder
cleanliness is next to godliness
coat of many colors
coin a phrase
cold hands warm heart
cost an arm and a leg
count your blessings
cross my heart and hope to die
cry your heart out
cut off your nose to spite your face
cut throat competition
cut your coat to suit your cloth
damned if you do, damned if you don't
dancing cheek to cheek
dead as a doornail
dead from the neck up
discretion is the better part of valor
do unto others as you would have them do unto you
does a bear crap in the woods
doesn’t know his ass from his elbow
doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground
don’t bite the hand that feeds you
don’t bother your pretty little head about it
don’t burn your bridges behind you
don’t change horses in midstream
don’t count your chickens before they are hatched
don’t cross that bridge till you come to it
don’t let the bastards grind you down
don’t look a gift horse in the mouth
don’t put all your eggs in one basket
don’t rock the boat
don’t spoil the ship
don’t try to walk before you can crawl
don’t upset the apple-cart
down in the mouth
easy come easy go
eat drink and be merry
eat your heart out
eaten out of house and home
enough is enough
every dark cloud has a silver lining
every dog has his day
every man has his price
every stick has two ends
everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
extend the hand of friendship
eyes in the back of your head
failing to plan is planning to fail
faint heart never won fair lady
faith will move mountains
fall from grace
familiarity breeds contempt
fancy free
fight the good fight
fight tooth and nail
finders keepers losers weepers
finger lickin’ good
first things first
fish and guests smell after three days
flattery will get you nowhere
foam at the mouth
follow your nose
fools rush in where angels fear to tread
for ever and a day
for everything there is a season
forgive them for they know not what they do
fortune favors the brave
frog in the throat
from the bottom of my heart
get it into your head
get it off your chest
get off on the right foot
get off on the wrong foot
get off your ass
get out of hand
get the bit between your teeth
get the upper hand
get your teeth into
get your tongue around it
give him an offer he can’t refuse
give one’s eye teeth for
give one’s right arm for
go cap in hand
go down on bended knee
go for the throat
go out on a limb
go to see a man about a dog
go to your head
god helps those who help themselves
going to powder my nose
good fences make good neighbors
good things come to those who wait
got it on the brain
got my eye on you
got to hand it to you
got your head screwed on
got up on the wrong side of the bed
grease one’s palm
great minds think alike
grin from ear to ear
grit your teeth
hair of the dog
handsome is as handsome does
hard work never did anyone any harm
haste makes waste
have a heart
have an axe to grind
he wears his heart on his sleeve
he who hesitates is lost
he who laughs last laughs longest
he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword
he who pays the piper calls the tune
he will give the devil his due
head over heels in love
hell has no fury like a woman scorned
here’s mud in your eye
history repeats itself
hit the nail on the head
hold your tongue
holding your cards close to your chest
home is where the heart is
I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
if a job is worth doing it is worth doing well
if at first you don’t succeed try try again
if god had meant us to fly he’d have given us wings
if you can’t beat’em join’em
if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
in my heart of hearts
in one ear and out the other
in over your head
in the kingdom of the blind the one-eyed man is king
in the twinkling of an eye
into every life a little rain must fall
it goes without saying
it never rains but it pours
it takes a thief to catch a thief
it takes one to know one
it’s all grist to the mill
it’s an ill wind that blows no one any good
it’s better to give than to receive
it’s better to light a candle than curse the darkness
it’s never too late
it’s no skin off my nose
it’s no use locking the stable door after the horse has bolted
it’s not worth crying over spilt milk
it’s the early bird that gets the worm
it’s the squeaky wheel that gets the grease
I’ve got my eye on you
just a glint in his father’s eye
keep a cool head
keep a stiff upper lip
keep a weather eye open
keep your chin up
keep your ear to the ground
keep your eye on the ball
keep your finger on the pulse
keep your head above water
keep your head down
keep your head up
keep your nose clean
keep your nose to the grindstone
keep your shoulder to the wheel
knee high to a grasshopper
know which way the wind blows
last will and testament
laugh and the world laughs with you weep and you weep alone
laugh your head off
laughter is the best medicine
lead by a nose
lend a helping hand
lend an ear
lend me your ears
let bygones be bygones
let sleeping dogs lie
let the punishment fit the crime
let your hair down
let’s shake hands on it
lie through your teeth
life begins at forty
life is what you make it
life’s not all beer and skittles
like a chicken with it's head cut off
like father like son
living on borrowed time
long in the tooth
look before you leap
look death in the eye
look down your nose
love is blind
love of money is the root of all evil
lying through his teeth
make love not war
makes your hair stand on end
man after his own heart
man does not live by bread alone
many are called but few are chosen
mighty oaks from little acorns grow
misery loves company
money doesn’t grow on trees
money makes the world go round
money talks
more power to you
more than meets the eye
more than you can shake a stick at
much ado about nothing
mum’s the word
music has charms to soothe the savage breast
my cup runneth over
near and dear to my heart
necessity is the mother of invention
neither here nor there
neither hide nor hair
never judge a book by its cover
never put off until tomorrow what you can do today
no rest for the wicked
not a dry eye in the house
nothing is certain but death and taxes
o ye of little faith
off the top of my head
off with his head
oil and water don’t mix
old soldiers never die they just fade away
on bended knee
on the one hand
on the other hand
on the tip of my tongue
one foot in the grave
one good turn deserves another
only fools and horses work
open your big mouth
opportunity only knocks once
out of sight out of mind
out of the jaws of death
out of the mouths of babes
out of your head
out on your ear
over my dead body
pay lip service
paying an arm and a leg
peace be with you
people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones
possession is nine tenths of the law
practice makes perfect
pressing the flesh
pride comes before a fall
pull your hair out
pull yourself up by your bootstraps
put words into someone’s mouth
put your best foot forward
put your foot down
put your foot in it
put your foot in your mouth
put your head on the block
put your money where your mouth is
put your nose to the grindstone
read the riot act
revenge is a dish best served cold
rhyme nor reason
ring out the old and ring in the new
roll off the tongue
Rome wasn’t built in a day
rub someone’s nose in it
rub your nose in it
rule of thumb
rule with an iron fist
sailing under false colors
seeing eye to eye
set your heart on something
shoot your mouth off
shoot yourself in the foot
shove it down someone’s throat
sink your teeth into it
skeleton in the closet
sleight of hand
slip of the tongue
smiling from ear to ear
sob your heart out
soft in the head
sold down the river
spare the rod and spoil the child
speak softly and carry a big stick
star crossed lovers
stick your neck out
sticks out like a sore thumb
still waters run deep
straight from the horse’s mouth
stupid is as stupid does
take it on the chin
take the words out of my mouth
talk is cheap
talking over your head
that which does not kill us makes us stronger
that’s the short and the long of it
the apple of his eye
the black sheep of the family
the blind leading the blind
the business at hand
the crack of dawn
the darkest hour is just before the dawn
the early bird catches the worm
the ends justify the means
the fruits of your labor
the game is afoot
the game is up
the gospel truth
the hand is quicker than the eye
the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world
the heart has its reasons
the long arm of the law
the more things change the more they stay the same
the pen is mightier than sword
the powers that be
the proof of the pudding is in the eating
the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing
the root of the matter
the salt of the earth
the shoe’s on the other foot
the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
the truth shall set you free
the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach
the whole nine yards
the writing is on the wall
there are none so blind as those that will not see
there but for the grace of god go I
there’s always more fish in the sea
there’s a method to my madness
there’s more than one way to skin a cat
there’s no place like home
there’s no smoke without fire
there’s no such thing as a free lunch
there’s no such thing as bad publicity
there’s no time like the present
this neck of the woods
those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it
to cast the first stone
to err is human to forgive divine
to the victor goes the spoils
tomorrow never comes
too many cooks spoil the broth
truth is stranger than fiction
turn a blind eye
turn the other cheek
turn up your nose
two heads are better then one
two shakes of a lamb’s tail
two wrongs don’t make a right
wash your mouth out with soap
waste not want not
we have seen better days
what a piece of work
what god has joined together let no man put asunder
when it rains it pours
when the cat’s away the mice will play
where there’s a will there’s a way
who let the dogs out
without a leg to stand on
woe is me
worrying never did anyone any good
wrapped around your little finger
you can’t get blood out of a stone
you can’t make a silk purse from a sow’s ear
you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs
you can’t teach an old dog new tricks
you can’t tell a book by its cover
youth is wasted on the young
you reap what you sow
