It's easy to be wise after the event.
Barking dogs seldom bite.
It's better to give than to receive.
The exception proves the rule.
All things come to those who wait.
As soon as a man is born, he begins to die.
Don't burn the candle at both ends.
Failure is the first step to success.
The best things in life are free.
Fortune favours the brave.
All good things must come to an end.
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
