    Mere assertion is no proof.



    Mutual assistance in despair will make this ugly world more fair.



    A man should live with his superiors as he does with his fire; not too near, lest he burn, nor too far off, lest he freeze.

    Tell me who you associate with and I will tell you who you are.



    If you go to bed with dogs you’ll wake up with fleas.



    Birds of a feather flock together.



    Every village has at least one dipstick.

    A frightened atheist half believes in God.



    Fair weather atheists turn to God in a pinch.



    At an auction, keep your mouth shut and your hands in your pockets.



    A book is no better or worse than its author.



    Avarice is never satisfied.

    Don’t avenge every insult; you’ll have no time to do anything else.



    Take the good with the bad, the sweet with the bitter.



    If you have a bad name you are half-hanged.



    A bad padlock invites a picklock.

    Fortunately, I got no first hand experience, but heard it from WWII, Korea and Nam Vets.

    An empty bag cannot stand upright.



    Two cats in one bag can have no peace.



    Without bait you cannot catch fish.



    It’s the bait that lures, not the fisherman or the reel.



    A little bait catches a large fish.



    The fish that nibbles at every bait will soon be caught.



    Better shun the bait than struggle on the hook.

    The balance scale doesn’t distinguish between gold or lead.



    Don’t pick a quarrel; pick a banjo or a guitar instead.



    It takes two to make a bargain.



    What you get dirt cheap is often cheap as dirt.



    Barking dogs seldom bite, except those little b**tards that you want to step on, and should.

    Trust a man who sings in his shower.



    It’s ok to lose a battle, just win the war.



    If a beard were a sign of smartness, the goat would be a Socrates.



    If you beat spice it will smell sweeter.



    Beauty is only skin deep.

    Beauty won’t buy your groceries.



    Beauty without virtue is like a rose without fragrance.



    Beauty is worse than wine: it intoxicates both the holder and the beholder.



    White hen mighty pretty, but de black chicken is de luckiest when de hawk come sailin’ ovah de chicken yard.



    The bee works in the summer and eats honey all winter.

    So true. I really like the 3rd one, got a chuckle out of it, especially since we used to have chickens...

    Old socks yield no money and old bees yield no honey.

    Bees that have honey also have stingers.

    Beggars cannot be choosers.

    A good beginning makes a good ending.

    From small beginnings come great things.

    If you start something, finish it.

    The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
