Things done by halves are never done right

They can do least who boast loudest

They brag most who can do least

You never know what you can do until you try

You cannot teach an old dog new tricks

You don’t get something for nothing

You cannot be at York and London at the same time

You can’t close the stable door after the horse has bolted

You can’t teach an old dog new tricks

Work done, have your fun

Woe gives birth to wisdom

Woman’s sword is her tongue, and she does not let it rust

Wisdom is better than strength

Wisdom is stronger than fate

Wise men change their minds; fools never do

Whoredom and grace dwelt ne’er in one place

Widows are always rich

Who is more busy, than he that has least to do?

While dog gnaws bone, companions would be none

While the doctors deliberate the patient dies

Where one door shuts another opens

Three things are not to be trusted: a cow’s horn, a dog’s tooth, and a horse’s hoof

Things done cannot be undone

They lead a cat-and-dog life

Where nothing is nothing can be done or had

Where nothing is, a little does ease

When in Rome do as Romans do

When children stand quiet they have done some ill

When children stand quiet, they have done some harm

When fortune knocks, be sure to open the door

When in doubt, do nowt

Whatever you do, do with your might

When a man is going down-hill, everyone will give him a push

When an ass climbs a ladder, we may find wisdom in women

What is done by night appears by day
