Have eyes in the back of one's
head
|
An ability to know what is
happening not within the scope of one's vision.
|
|
If it's not one thing it's another
|
The troubles seem to go on and on
without end.
|
|
The sky is the limit
|
There is no upper limit to
something
|
|
A trouble shared is a trouble
halved
|
Your troubles seem half as great
when you discuss them with someone else
|
|
A watched pot never boils
|
If you watch or wait for something
to get done or to happen it seems to take forever
|
|
Worship the ground somebody walks
on
|
Very much in love with somebody
|
|
Between a rock and a hard place
|
To be in a difficult situation
from which there seems to be no escape
|
|
Cleanliness is next to Godliness
|
To be clean and tidy is just as
important as being spiritually good and religious.
|
|
Money is the root of all evil
|
Crimes and wickedness are
associated with money.
|
|
Two's company, three's a crowd
|
It is always fun while there are
only two people whereas the third person is an unwelcome intrusion.

You should not expect everyone to
think and act as you do.
|
|
Jump from the frying pan into the
fire
|
To go from a bad position to a
worse one.
|
|
Go from the sublime to the
ridiculous
|
Move from one situation which is
wonderful or perfect to another which is absurd or awful
|
|
One swallow doesn't make a summer
|
One success doesn't guarantee
complete success
|
|
Truth is stranger than fiction
|
Real life can be more incredible
than anything which can be imagined
|
|
You can't have your cake and eat
it
|
You must choose between two things
as it is impossible to have both at the same time
|
|
A miss is as good as a mile
|
Something that one already has is
better than something that one may not be able to get
|
|
As you make your bed so must you
lie on it
|
You must accept the consequences
of your act
