Proverbs.
Birds of a feather flock together
Рыбак рыбака видит издалека.
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth
Дарёному коню в зубы не смотрят.
A cat in gloves catches no mice.
Без труда не вытащишь и рыбки из пруда.
Dumb dogs are dangerous.
Ср. Не бойся собаки брехливой, а бойся молчаливой.
В тихом омуте черти водятся.
Catch your bear before you sell its skin.
Не дели шкуру неубитого медведя.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Лучше синица в руках, чем журавль в небе.
No bees, no honey: no work, no money.
Нет пчёл, нет мёда: нет работы, нет денег.
Sweet as honey.
Busy as bee.
