The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
Don’t count your chicken before they are hatched
It's no use crying over spilt milk
Let sleeping dogs lie
Look before you leap
Don’t judge a book by its cover
The apple never falls far from the tree
The best things in life are free
The leopard does not change his spots
There's no place like home
Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones
When the cat's away the mice will play
You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar
