Truth is stranger than fiction
Truth is more valuable if it takes you a few years to find it – often attributed to French author Jules Renard
Turn your face toward the sun and the shadows fall behind you
Two birds with one stone
Two can play at that game
Two heads are better than one
Two is company, but three is a crowd
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown
United we stand, divided we fall
Until the lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter
Use it or lose it
Ugly is as ugly does
Up a creek without a paddle
United we bargain; divided we beg
Unity is strength
Variety is the spice of life. William Cowper, English poet
Virtue is its own reward
Walk softly but carry a big stick
Walls have ears
Walnuts and pears you plant for your heirs
Waste not, want not
Well begun is half done
What does not kill me makes me stronger
Well done is better than well said
What cannot be cured must be endured
What goes around, comes around
What goes up must come down
What you lose on the swings you gain on the roundabouts
What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander
What is the worst that can happen?
What the eye does not see
When in Rome,
Whatever floats your boat
When it rains it pours
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade
When the cat is away, the mice will play
When the going gets tough, the tough get going
When the oak is before the ash, then you will only get a splash; when the ash is before the oak, then you may expect a soak
When you have seen one, you have seen them all
What is learnt in the cradle lasts to the tombs
What the eye does not see, the heart does not grieve over
Where there is a will there is a way
Where there is muck there is brass
Where there is life there is hope
Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right
While there is life there is hope
Who will bell the cat?
Whom the Gods love die young
Why keep a dog and bark yourself?
With great power comes great responsibility
Woe to the vanquished
Woman is the root of both good and evil
Wonders will never cease
Work expands so as to fill the time available
Worrying never did anyone any good
You are never too old to learn
You are what you eat
You can have too much of a good thing
You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink
You can never/never can tell
You cannot always get what you want
You cannot burn a candle at both ends.
You cannot have your cake and eat it too
You cannot get blood out of a stone
You cannot make a silk purse from a sow's ear
You cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs
You cannot make bricks without straw
You cannot push a rope
You cannot run with the hare and hunt with the hounds
You cannot unscramble eggs
You cannot win them all
You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
You pay your money and you take your choice
Youth is wasted on the young
You may/might as well be hanged/hung for a sheep as
You must have rocks in your head
You scratch my back and I will scratch yours
You only live once.
You'll never get if you never go
You're never fully dressed without a smile
You've got to separate the wheat from the chaff
You've made your bed and you must lie in/on it
Zeal without knowledge is fire without light

Turn your face toward the sun and the shadows fall behind you

Two birds with one stone

Two can play at that game

Two heads are better than one

Two is company, but three is a crowd

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown
