Hitch one's wagon to a star

To Move forward in a way to improve your chances of achieving success.



Home is where the heart is

No matter where you are, 'home' is where you feel most comfortable and content.



If wishes were horses, beggars would ride

If we could get all the things we wanted just by making a wish, everyone would have all he ever wanted.



If you can't lick them, join them

If you cannot defeat an opponent or get him to change his ideas, plans or way of doing things, the best thing is to change your ideas, plans, etc.



In for a penny, in for a pound

If we decide to do something, we should commit ourselves to it boldly and completely.



A job worth doing is a job worth doing well

When you do something you should do it as well as you can.



Keep the wolf from the door

To avoid hunger and poverty



Laugh and the world laughs with you

When someone is in a happy, cheerful mood, people like being with him.



Least said, soonest forgotten

The less we say about it the sooner the incident will be forgotten.



A chicken and egg question

A mysterious question which can't be answered



You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink

We can help, show or encourage someone to do something but we can't make him do what he is unwilling or unable to do




Life is just a bowl of cherries

Life is full of happiness and pleasure



Like a bull in a china shop

A clumsy or tactless person



Lock the stable door after the horse has bolted

Once a mistake has been made or an error committed, it's too late to take precautions to prevent it from happening.



The longest day must have an end

All difficult jobs or situations also have an end.



Losers weepers, finders keepers

If someone loses something, he weeps -- but if someone finds it, he keeps it.



Love me, love my dog

If we want a person's friendship we must accept him totally, faults and all.



Many hands make light work

Many people sharing a job or tasks make easier work of it.
