Cheap at half the price

Close, but no cigar

between the devil and the deep blue sea

Keep a stiff upper lip

Cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear

You can't win for trying.

Close the door, were you born in barn?

There's nothing like a woman scorned.

Dumb as a post.

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

There's no friend like an old friend.

Cold hands, warm heart.

Honesty is the best policy.

Hope is the seed of success.

Love conquers all things

An apple a day keeps the doctor away

An empty can makes the most noise

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

Another day, another dollar
