Poor men seek meat for their stomach; rich men stomach for their meat
Silence is golden
Take your time and time will take you
The early worm enjoys a leisurely breakfast
The more you get, the more you want
There is a time and a place for everything
To deceive oneself is very easy
United we stand, divided we fall
What you lose on the swings you gain on the roundabouts
Wise children have short years
You never know what you can do until you try
A camel is a horse designed by a committee
A friend is not so soon gotten as lost
A hedge between keeps friendship green
A problem shared is a problem halved
abandon ship
All sunshine makes a desert
as delicate as a baby's eye lashes
Before enlightenment, I chopped wood and carried water; after enlightenment, I chopped wood and carried water.
Blethers say nought
Cultivate money and you grow rich, Cultivate mind and you raise culture
Don't talk back
Every man has his price
First come, first served
Give a clown a finger and he will take your hand
Gut No Fish Till You Get Them
He who dares wins
Honesty is the best policy
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
It takes two to make a quarrel
Least said soonest mended
Live and let live
Manners maketh man
Never go to bed on an argument
None but the brave deserve the fair
One mans meat is another mans poison!
Practice makes perfect
Silence is the fence around wisdom
Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice inside the ceiling laugh
The end justifies the means
The most beautiful women are made for lovers who lack imagination
There is a time to speak and a time to be silent
To err is human, to forgive divine
Unkissed, unkind
What you see in yourself is what you see in the world
Without rice, even the cleverest housewife cannot cook
You only live once
A cat has nine lives
A friend to all is a friend to none
A helping hand is no farther than at the end of your sleeve
A proverb is a true word
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
All that glisters is not gold
as dirty as a pig
Beggars and borrowers cannot be choosers
Blood is thicker than water
Curiosity killed the cat
Dont count the days, make the days count!
Every picture tells a story
First Impressions are the Most Lasting
Give and spend and God will send
Half a loaf is better than no bread
He who does not honour his wife dishonours himself
Hope springs eternal
In a battle between elephants, the ants get squashed
It takes two to tango
Lend your money and lose your friend
Live to the point of tears
Many a mickle makes a muckle
Never judge a book by its cover
None but the wearer knows where the shoe pinches
One of these days is none of these days
Practice what you preach
Sleep is better than medicine
Talk is cheap
The eyes are the window of the soul
The nearer the bone the sweeter the meat
There is always some madness in love But there is also always some reason in madness
To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart
Use it or lose it
Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong
Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down
You win some, you lose some
A best friend is like a four leaf clover, Hard to find and lucky to have
A fly will not get into a closed mouth
A Growing Youth Has a Wolf in His Belly
A new broom sweeps clean, but the old brush knows all the corners
A volunteer is worth twenty pressed men
All beginning is difficult The first million is the hardest
Any fool can criticise, condemn and complain and most fools do
Beautiful is not what is beautiful, but what one likes
Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife
Cold hands, warm heart
Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped
Every cloud has a silver lining
Fate leads the willing but drives the stubborn
Friends are made by many acts - and lost by only one
Good talk saves the food
He that knows nothing, doubts nothing
He who wants to do good, knocks at the gate, he who loves finds the gates open
If you get a good wife you will be happy, if you get a bad one you will become a philosopher
It is never too late to be what you might have been
Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone
Like music to my ears
Love thy neighbour as thy self
Mother knows best
No man is an island
Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale
Patience is bitter, but it bears sweet fruit
See Naples and die
Sunlight penetrates even the thinnest crack
The devil find work for idle hands to do
The longest day must have an end
The young man thinks the old mans stupid but the old man knows the young man is
Those who cast the votes decide nothing Those who count the votes decide everything
Turn the other cheek
What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive
When you live in the past, it costs you the present
You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar
A cat may look at a king |
