by Tom Pollack
A leopard cannot change its spots
A multitude of sins
A nest of vipers
A thorn in the flesh
A wolf in sheep's clothing
All things must pass
All things to all men
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
As old as Methuselah
As old as the hills
As white as the snow
As you sow so shall you reap
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
At his wits end
Beat swords into ploughshares
Bite the dust
Blessed be the peacemakers
By the skin of your teeth
Cast the first stone
Coat of many colors
Don't cast your pearls before swine
Eat drink and be merry
Faith will move mountains
Fall from grace
Fight the good fight
Flesh and blood
For everything there is a season
Forbidden fruit
Forgive them for they know not what they do
From strength to strength
Get the behind me Satan
Give up the ghost
Good Samaritan
How are the mighty fallen
In the beginning was the word
In the twinkle of an eye
It's better to give than to receive
Lamb to the slaughter
Land of Nod
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone
Let not the sun go down on your wrath
Let there be light
Living of the fat of the land
Love of money is the root of all evil
Love thy neighbor as thyself
Many are called but few are chosen
My cup runneth over
No rest for the wicked
O ye, of little faith
Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings
Physician heal thyself
Red sky at night is a shepherds' (sailors) delight
Spare the rod and spare the child
Strait and narrow
The apple of his (my) eye
The blind leading the blind
The bread of life
The ends of the earth
The fruit of your lions
The powers that be
The root of the matter
The salt of the earth
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
The wages of sin is death
The writing is on the wall
Thou shalt not kill
Three score and ten
What god has joined together let no man asunder
White as snow
Woe is me

Roman boats were a unique creation of the ancient Romans. The Ancient Roman navy was slim at best, until 261 BC when the Roman Senate set out to beef up the fleet with 100 quinqueremes (boats with five rows of multiple oars on each side of the ship) and 20 triremes (three rows of oars on both sides).
