when the ash is before the oak, then you may expect a soak What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over When in Rome, do as the Romans do Where there's muck there's brass While there's life there's hope Whom the Gods love die young Why keep a dog and bark yourself? Women and children first Wonders will never cease Work expands so as to fill the time available Worrying never did anyone any good You are never too old to learn You are what you eat You can have too much of a good thing You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink 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 bricks without straw You can't run with the hare and hunt with the hounds You can't teach an old dog new tricks You can't win them all You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar Youth is wasted on the young Monday's child is fair of face, Tuesday's child is full of grace, Wednesday's child is full of woe, Thursday's child has far to go, Friday's child is loving and giving, Saturday's child works hard for its living, And a child that's born on the Sabbath day Is fair and wise and good and gay.
