Caught between a rock and a hard place
Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
(to be stuck with two choices that are both undesirable)
Out of the frying pan and into the fire
(to go from a bad to a worse situation)
Might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb
(if you're going to get into the same amount of trouble, you might as well commit the greater offense)
Six of one, half a dozen of the other
(each choice is really the same thing)
Two sides of the same coin
(two aspects of a situation that are connected by necessity)
In for a penny, in for a pound
(if you're going to make a minor commitment you might as well make the entire commitment)
Don't count your chickens before they're hatched
(don't start making plans for something until it is a reality, rather than a pleasant speculation)
Don't cross your bridges before you get to them
(don't worry about future problems before you need to)
Time and tide wait for no man
(act in a timely fashion because you can't get back lost chances)
