We are all Adam's children - it's just the skin that makes all the difference.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And venture belongs to the adventurous.
A revolutionary idea is usually one with its sleeves rolled up.
The ball whizzes past like a bumblebee and the Indians are in the sea.
Nobody travels on the road to success without a puncture or two.
It's like the brooding hen sitting over a china egg.
