Morning Dash
| 1. | Paint the town red. | 2. | The cat’s meow. | 3. | Barking up the wrong tree. | 4. | Close, but no cigar. | 5. | Everything but the kitchen sink. |
| 6. | Put a sock in it. | 7. | Leave no stone unturned. | 8. | When the going gets tough, the tough get going. | 9. | Don’t try kicking against the wind. | 10. | A picture is worth a thousand words. |
| 11. | Where there’s smoke there’s fire. | 12. | Ignorance is bliss. | 13. | A friend to everybody is a friend to nobody. | 14. | Never speak ill of the dead. | 15. | Faint heart never won fair lady. |
| 16. | Don’t get mad, get even. | 17. | An idle man is the devil’s playfellow. | 18. | An old fox need learn no craft. | 19. | Curses, like chickens come home to roost. | 20. | Like a fish out of water. |
| 21. | Let sleeping dogs lie. | 22. | Seize the day. | 23. | Little strokes fell great oaks. | 24. | A rising tide lifts all boats. | 25. | Peace begins just where ambition ends. |
| 26. | Confess and be hanged. | 27. | A wink is as good as a nod, to a blind man. | 28. | If you lie down with dogs, you’ll get up with fleas. | 29. | A cat has nine lives. | 30. | He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day. |
| 31. | A good conscience is a soft pillow. |
Evening Dash
| 1. | No man is an island. | 2. | People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. | 3. | Any port in a storm. | 4. | He who pays the piper calls the tune. | 5. | Never look a gift horse in the mouth. |
| 6. | Seeing is believing. | 7. | Dead men tell no tales. | 8. | Set a thief to catch a thief. | 9. | One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. | 10. | Easy come, easy go. |
| 11. | A drowning man will clutch at a straw. | 12. | The worst wheel always creaks most. | 13. | A spark can start a great fire. | 14. | Still waters run deep. | 15. | Discretion is the greater part of valor. |
| 16. | The walls have ears. | 17. | Love makes a good eye squint. | 18. | Brevity is the soul of wit. | 19. | If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. | 20. | They that sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind. |
| 21. | Don’t beat about the bush. | 22. | You can’t run with the hare and hunt with the hounds. | 23. | Don’t knock on death’s door. Ring the doorbell and run. | 24. | While the cat’s away the mice will play. | 25. | Silence is golden. |
| 26. | There is no honor among thieves. | 27. | He who sups with the Devil should have a long spoon. | 28. | In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. | 29. | Every man has his price. | 30. | He who hesitates is lost. |
| 31. | As thick as thieves. |
