SET PHRASES

SET PHRASES
 
I need a list of SET PHRASES, preferably joined by a conjunction, which cannot possibly be changed in natural English. For example:
black and white
safe and sound
the haves and the have-nots
ups and downs
Could you help me make this list longer? 

Thanks a lot in advance!
