As a sailor, my whole entrywould've been deleted by the mods if not for my creative editing of #12. That was our daily excuse to get out of cleaning the ship, though it never worked.

Ha and it's raining here so I drove today, but I waved politely and slowed down past all the fools riding their bikes to work.

2. A stitch in time saves NINE (nine what I don't know)
3. LOOK before you leap.
4. The best things in life are FREE.
5. The grass is always greener ON THE OTHER SIDE (of the street/road)
6. BAD NEWS travels fast.
7. A rolling stone gathers NO MOSS
8. ABSENCE makes the heart grow fonder.
9. A watched kettle never BOILS
10. (Russian) Once burned by milk you will BLOW ON COLD WATER (multiple words)
11. (Croatian) God created the BEARD first for himself.
12. What English proverb (roughly) means the a same as this Dutch proverb?
"Even if a monkey wears a gold ring, it is and remains an ugly thing"
YOU CAN'T MAKE A SILK PURSE OUT OF A SOW'S EAR. (or I'll accept John Q's answer, 'You can't shine sh#t' or words to that effect... )
13. What English proverb (roughly) means the same as this Thai proverb:
“Those who can’t dance blame it on the drum and the flute.”
A GOOD WORMAN NEVER BLAMES HIS TOOLS
Bonus: (Author Terry Pratchett) The pen is mightier than the sword IF … ? IF THE SWORD IS VERY SHORT AND THE PEN IS VERY SHARP.

John Q. Publik wins. I suppose a sailor would hear a lot of proverbs and sayings, some even polite. Immpressed you knew the Croatian and Russian ones :)

Special Mention to Al Z who I think, in some sense, actually got them all right, and made me laugh.
