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.



It takes all sorts to make a world

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
