A watched pot never boils.
Beggars can’t be choosers.
Actions speak louder than words.
Cleanliness is next to godliness.
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.		Don’t judge a book by its cover.
Don’t put too many irons in the fire.
Fortune favors the bold.
If you play with fire, you’ll get burned.
If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
