Guess that Phrase

On that "Am I Dumb? quiz yesterday I found a "genius" quiz, split into three parts. As it seems they might have taken their questions from other sources, I felt no qualms about taking some of theirs. I thought I would post the first part, and if popular, I can post the others as well. What you are trying to do is guess the traditional saying from the first letters of the main words. For example:

a f in n is a f i - a friend in need is a friend indeed

You see how they do it. Note also that "a" can just mean the word a, as well as a word that starts with "a." (This comes up several times below.)

If you want to post what you think are the answers, that's cool, but I would ask that you not do more than 5 or so, to let others have a chance to shine. See how you do: you might surprise yourself.
