Metaphors: 1, 3, 6.

- Time is a thief. — metaphor (time is directly compared to a thief).
- The key of wisdom opens doors. — metaphor (wisdom is called a "key" that opens opportunities).
- Humility is tough to swallow. — metaphor/idiom (uses a figurative expression; humility cannot literally be swallowed).

Not metaphors:
- Making choices is difficult. — literal statement.
- Love is like a present. — simile (uses "like").
- The water is as cold as ice. — simile (uses "as").
