You cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs

You cannot make bricks without straw

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

With seven nannies a child will be without eyes

Without diligence, no prize

Without shame, all the world

There’s no smoke without fire

Wealth is nothing without health

We can live without our friends, but not without our neighbours

Reputations is often got without merit, and lost without crime

Rage is without reason

Praise without profit puts little in the pot

Perfect friendship cannot be without equality

Much babbling is not without offence

May never goes out without a wheat-ear

Love rules his kingdom without a sword

Love is without reason

Nothing is to be got without pains except poverty

Nothing is stolen without hands

No wrong without a remedy

No weal without woe

No war without a woman

No sweet without sweat

No sweet without some bitter

No sun without a shadow

No one is rich enough to do without his neighbour

No joy without alloy

No great loss without some small gain

No good building without a good foundation

No garden without its weeds

No gains without pains

No flying without wings

No evil without good

There is nothing to be had without taking pains

There is no smoke without fire
