an evil lesson is soon learned. 學壞容易。

an honest man's word is as good as his bond. 誠實人的話像他的契約一樣靠得住。

an hour in the morning is worth two in the evening. 一日之計在於晨。

an idle brain is the devil's workshop. 遊手好閒是萬惡之源。

an idle youth, a needy age. 少壯不努力，老大徒傷悲。

an ill workman quarrels with his tools. 拙匠常怪工具差。

an inch in a miss is as good as an ell. 錯無分大小，有錯皆不好。

an nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse. 對牛彈琴。

an oak is not felled at one stroke. 萬事不能一蹴而就。
