- (continued from previous page)The beak of the goose is no longer than the gander.
The game is not worth a candle.
Between two stools we come to the ground.
To go from the frying pan into the fire.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Having more than one string to your bow.
While there is life there is hope.
Nothing venture, nothing win.
To put ones head into the lions mouth.
Take a leap in the dark.
To burn ones boats.
A bee in ones bonnet.
To set the Thames on fire.
To throw down the gauntlet.
To feather ones nest.
To hit the nail on the head.
