All that glisters is not goldStrange bedfellows
Though this be madness, yet there's method in't
Wild-goose chase
What's done is done
The world's mine oyster
A tower of strength
Spotless reputation

In a pickle
Forever and a day
Give no words but mum
Pound of flesh
A fool's paradise
Not budge an inch

Wear my heart upon my sleeve
