You may speak with your gold, and make other tongues dumb

You cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs

You cannot make bricks without straw

You cannot make a crab walk straight

You cannot make a sieve of an ass’s tail

You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear

You can take a horse to the water but you cannot make him drink

You can’t make a silk purse from a sow’s ear

You can’t make an omelet / omelette / without breaking eggs

Women and wine, game and deceit, make the wealth small, and the wants great

Wine makes all sorts of creatures at table

Who makes himself a sheep will be eaten by the wolves

Whom gods would destroy, they first make mad

Whilst you seek new friends, make much of the old ones

Time is a file that wears and makes no noise

Three women and a goose make a market

We make a conscience of spitting in the church, yet rob the altar

Two blacks do not make a white

Two in distress makes sorrow less

Two shoes make a pair

Two wrongs do not make a right

Truth finds foes, where it makes none

Trust makes way for treachery

Too much knowledge makes the head bald

Too much money makes one mad

To make the cup run over

To make (to turn) the air blue

To make a cat’s paw of someone

To make a mountain out of a molehill

To make a rod for one’s own back

To make both ends meet

To make like ass, that carries gold and eats thistles

To make mountains out of molehills

Tis action makes the hero

The wind in one’s face makes one wise
