All roads lead to Rome.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Be to yourself as you would to your friend. (W. Shakespeare)

A drowning man will clutch at a straw.

Practice makes perfect.

All that glitters is not gold.

Too many cooks spoil the broth.

Opportunity makes a thief.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Fortune favours the brave.

Among the blind one - eyed man is a king.

A lie has no legs.

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.

All's well that ends well.

The appetite grows with what it feeds on.

Once bitten, twice shy.

It is a double pleasure to deceive the deceiver.

Time is a great healer.

As you make your bed, so you must lie upon it.

Clothes do not make the man.
