ANSWER
An elephant never forgets
Pride goes before a fall
Knowledge is power
Time is a great healer
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Variety is the spice of life
Every dog has his day
A stitch in time saves nine
Charity begins at home
Still waters run deep
A rolling stone gathers no moss
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Cold hands warm heart
To err is human, to forgive divine
It never rains but it pours
A bad workman blames his tools
Neither a borrower or a lender be
One good turn deserves another
Easier said than done
A watched pot never boils
Spare the rod and spoil the child
The devil finds work for idle hands
Slow but sure wins the race
Marry in haste, repent at leisure
Every cloud has a silver lining
Beware of Greeks bearing gifts
No news is good news
Too many cooks spoil the broth
THTRTCRTW (3,4,4,5,3,6,5,3,5) The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world
UWSDWF
(6,2,5,7,2,4) United we stand divided we fall
