Default Re: Do English know these PROVERBS? Do they use them at all?

I've never heard any of these in English, but an equivalent for No4 might be:

"O, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive."

Maybe it's not really a proverb but it is a well-known quotation from Sir Walter Scott.
