All is not gold that glitters Birds of a feather will flock together God hates those who praise themselves God helps those who help themselves He who done not go forward stays behind Hope is the poor man bread The fox changes his skin but not his habits The less men think, the more they talk The lion is not so fierce as they paint him The nearer the bone the sweeter the meat The will of the people is the best law When the cat's away the mice will play
