"When in Rome do as the Romans do."
Some things are not as valuable as they appear to be.
(="All that
glitters is not gold.")
What is pleasing to one person may not be pleasing to
another.
("One man's gravy is another man's poison.")
"Nothing hurts like the truth."
(= It is
painful to discover an unpleasant truth about oneself.)
"You reap what you sow."
(= The amount of
effort you put into something determines how much you will get out of it.)
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you."
(=
Don't hurt someone who takes care of you.)
"Clothes do not make the man."
(= A person
should not be judged by the clothes he or she wears.)
"He who hesitates is lost."
(= A person who
doesn't act decisively is unlikely to succeed.)
NB.

as (= since, while, because, even, for instance); conjunction
as ( that, who, which: especially after 'such' and 'the same'); relative pronoun
as (in the role, function, or status of = all so, quite so, quite as, as); preposition
