The exception proves the rule

The evils we bring on ourselves are hardest to bear

The end justifies the means

The end crowns the work

The early bird catches the worm

The Dutch have taken Holland!

The dogs bark, but the caravan goes on

The devil rebuking sin

The devil lurks behind the cross

The devil knows many things because he is old

The devil is not so black as he is painted

The darkest place is under the candlestick

The darkest hour is that before the dawn

The cobbler's wife is the worst shod

The cobbler should stick to his last

The chain is no stronger than its weakest link

The cat would eat fish and would not wet her paws

The cat shuts its eyes when stealing cream

The cask savours of the first fill

The cap fits

The camel going to seek horns lost his ears

The busiest man finds the most leisure

The best is oftentimes the enemy of the good

The best fish swim near the bottom

The beggar may sing before the thief (before a footpad)
