March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers.

No pain no gain.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

The gods send nuts to those who have no teeth.

One eyewitness is better than ten hearsays.

You cannot make a crab walk straight.

The darkest hour is just before the dawn.

Nothing comes of nothing.

Coming events cast their shadows before.

Lookers-on see most of the game.

Union is strength.

Today is not just tomorrow's yesterday.
