Something's Missing

I found this in the may issue of Reader's Digest. Thought its nice and challenging plus something to get you thinking. So here goes ...
Given below are 6 common proverbs. The vowels and spaces have been taken out. The number of words in the phrases are mentioned in the parentheses

1)BTTRLTTHNNVR (4) (this one's easy ... warm-up kind :D )
2)RMWSNTBLTNDY (6)
3)HSTRYRPTSTSLF (3)
4)LTBYGNSBBYGNS (4)
5)TMNDTDWTFRNMN (7) (I couldn't get this 1 .. )
6)TVRYTHNGTHRSSSN (7)

Go go go !
