a go - a sl
- a golden key can open any door
- a good beginning makes a good ending
- a good horse cannot be of a bad colour
- a good Jack makes a good Jill
- a great book is a great evil
- a green Yule makes a fat churchyard
- a guilty conscience needs no accuser
- a house divided cannot stand
- a hungry man is an angry man
- a king’s chaff is worth more than other men’s corn
- a liar ought to have a good memory
- a lie is halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on
- a little knowledge is a dangerous thing
- a little pot is soon hot
- a live dog is better than a dead lion
- a man is as old as he feels, and a woman as old as she looks
- a man is known by the company he keeps
- a man who is his own lawyer has a fool for his client
- a miss is as good as a mile
- a moneyless man goes fast through the market
- a mouse may help a lion
- a nation without a language is a nation without a heart
- a nod’s as good as a wink to a blind horse
- a peck of March dust is worth a king’s ransom
- a penny saved is a penny earned
- a place for everything, and everything in its place
- a postern door makes a thief
- a prophet is not without honour save in his own country
- a reed before the wind lives on, while mighty oaks do fall
- a rising tide lifts all boats
- a rolling stone gathers no moss
- a short horse is soon curried
- a shut mouth catches no flies
