I found these listed somewhere:
Opportunity knocks but once.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Actions speak louder than words.
Admiration is the daughter of ignorance.
Many receive advice; only the wise profit by it.
The qualities we have do not make us so ridiculous as those we affect to have.
The attempt, not the deed, confounds us.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
Each man's belief is right in his own eyes.
Birds of a feather will gather together.
Age is like love, it cannot be hid.
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.
Well begun is half done.
Every beginning is hard.
It's an ill bird that fouls its own nest.
If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into a ditch.
Character is destiny.
