I've had one alphabet book published and have written several more. I love alphabet lists. Here are a bunch I've put together just for fun...
The Proverbs Alphabet An invisible microbe can kill a giant and lay low an
elephant.
Better the last smile than the first laughter.

Even the devil will swear on a stack of Bibles. Fond of lawsuits, little wealth; fond of doctors, little
health.
Gold is the devil's fish hook.
Hope is a good breakfast but a bad supper. If a beard were a sign of smartness, the goat would be a
Socrates. Just because he was born in a stable doesn't make a man a horse.
Knaves and fools divide the world between them.

Many foxes grow gray, but few grow good. No skunk can get rid of his own name by giving it to another.
One hour's cold will suck out seven years' heat.
Popular opinion is the greatest lie in the world. Quacks use their skill to make sound men sick and ill
men dead.
Rats know the way of rats.
Send a fool to the market and a fool he'll return.
Those who hide know how to find.
Unpolished pearls never shine. Visit your aunt, but not every day; and call at your brother's but
not every night.
Wait for good luck in your sleep.
Xerxes the great did die, and so must you and I.
You're idle if you might be better employed.
Zeal is like fire; it needs both feeding and watching.
