Love me, love my dog.
Seeing is believing.
six of one and half a dozen of the other

put the cart before the horse
catch at shadows
go through thick and thin; go through fire and water
a skeleton in the cupboard
Waste not, want not.
be neither fish,flesh,nor good red herring
No pains, no gains. No gains without pains.
Nothing venture,nothing have.
A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.

look for a needle in a haystack
put all cards on the table
Give him an inch and he'll take an ell.
carry coals to Newcastle
turn over a new leaf
throw a long line to catch big fish
mend one's ways
Walls have ears.
The leopard can't change its spots.
put all one's eggs in one basket
be fair and square

paint the lily
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
fish in troubled waters

Pride goes before a fall.
The early bird catches/gets the worm.
East or west, home is the best.
a fair weather friend
by hook or by crook

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
be at the end of one's rope(tether)
Look before you leap.
You cannot eat your cake and have it

fish in the air
Practice makes perfect.
Penny wise, pound foolish

as easy as a turn of one's wrist
Like knows like.
Great minds think alike.
More haste, less speed.
the apple of one's eyes
call a spade a spade
be/sit on pins and needles
