| PROVERBS | 
| Eavesdroppers never hear any good of themselves. | 
| The end justifies the means. | 
| The end makes all equal. | 
| An Englishman's house is his castle. | 
| Enough is as good as a feast. | 
| Even a worm will turn. | 
| Even Homer sometimes nods. | 
| Every cock crows on his own dunghill. | 
| Every family has a skeleton in the cupboard. | 
| Every flow must have its ebb. | 
| Every law has a loophole. | 
| Every man for himself, and the devil take the hindmost. | 
| Every man has his price. | 
| Every man has the defects of his own virtues. | 
| Every why has a wherefore. | 
| Everybody's business is nobody's business. | 
| Everyone to his taste. | 
| Evil to him who evil thinks. | 
| Example is better than precept. | 
| Exchange is no robbery. | 
| Expectation is better than realization. | 
| Extremes meet. | 
| Faint heart never won fair lady. | 
| The fairest rose is at last withered. | 
| A fault confessed is half redressed. | 
| Fine words butter no parsnips. | 
| First impressions are most lasting. | 
| First thrive and then wive. | 
| Fling enough dirt and some will stick. | 
| Footprints on the sands of time are not made by sitting down. | 
| Forbidden fruit is sweetest. | 
| A forced kindness deserves no thanks. | 
| Forewarned is forearmed. | 
| Fortune knocks at least once at every man's gate. | 
| From the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step. | 
| Full of courtesy, full of craft. |
