A gentle heart is tied with an easy thread
A house is not a home
A proverb never lies, it is only its meaning which deceives
Abundance, like want, ruins many
All the world loves a lover
as dry as chapped lips
Believe nothing of what you hear, and only half of what you see
Blue are the hills that are far away
Curses, like chickens, come home to roost
Dont make love at the garden gate, love is blind but the neighbours aint
Every Soldier has the Baton of a Field Marshal in his Knapsack
First in the queue
Give credit where credit is due
Handsome is as handsome does
He who drinks Australian Thinks Australian
Hunger is the best sauce
In April,a youg mans thoughts turn to fancy!
It will all come out in the wash
Let bygones be bygones
Look after number one
Many a true word is spoken in jest
Never judge by appearences
None so deaf as those who will not hear
one thing after another
Prevention is better than cure
Smile and the world smiles with you, snore and you sleep alone
Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself
The eyes speak as much as the mouth
The nearer to the church, the farther from God
There is always somebody worst of then yourself no matter how bad things seem
To have is to hold and to hold is to have
Use soft words and hard arguments
When a fool is silent, he too is counted among the wise
Wonders will never cease
Your day starts with what you say to yourself
A cat may look at a Queen
A gentleman without an estate is a pudding without suet
A huge part of real love is constant forgiveness
A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day
Accidents happen
All things are possible with god
As is the gardener, so is the garden
Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, with strife
Books and friends should be few and good
Cut your coat according to your cloth
Dont teach your grandmother to suck eggs
Every step of life is a risk
First things first
Give Neither Counsel Nor Salt till You Are Asked For It
Happiness is not a state of mind, but a manner of travelling
He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day
I had no shoes and complained, until I met a man who had no feet
In for a penny, in for a pound
It will all come right in the wash
Let sleeping dogs lie
Look before you leap
Many are called but few are chosen
Never judge someone until you have travelled a mile in their shoes
Not to know is bad; not to wish to know is worse
One volunteer is worth ten pressed men
Pride comes before a fall
Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep
Teaching of others teacheth the teacher
The faintest ink is more powerful than the strongest memory
The old believe everything, the middle aged suspect everything, the young know everything
There is an exception to every rule
To know the road ahead, ask those coming back
Variety is the spice of life
When Adam delved and Eve span, who was then the gentleman
Work expands so as to fill the time available
Your troubles seem larger the longer you look at them
A celebrity is someone who works hard all his life to become known and then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized
A gift given in secret soothes anger, and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
A reed before the wind lives on, while might oaks do fall
Accidents will happen in the best regulated families
All things come to those who wait
As safe as houses
Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened calf with hatred
Borrowed Garments Never Fit Well
Daddies know best
Doubt is the beginning not the end of wisdom
Everyday is a fresh slate
Fish and guests smell in three days
Gluttony kills more than the sword
Happiness is wanting what you have - not having what you want
He who flies high is a short step from a big fall
I pointed out to you the stars and all you saw was the tip of my finger
In the coldest flint there is hot fire
It's the thought that counts
Let the buyer beware
Look both ways
Many hands make light work
Never look a gift horse in the mouth
Nothing is certain but death and taxes
One who has the reputation of an early riser may safely lie in bed until noon
Procrastination is the thief of time
Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors
The Absent are Always Wrong
The Fairest Rose at Last is Withered
The One who tells the stories rules the world
There is more than one way to skin a cat
To many people in a dustbin means there not much room in side
Virtue is its own reward
When alone, we have our thoughts to watch, in our families, our tempers and in society our tongues
Work is the curse of the drinking classes
Youth and Old Age Will Never Agree
A danger foreseen is half avoided
A good mate is the road map for the spaghetti junction of life
A man is judged by his deeds, not by his words
A sly rabbit will have three openings to its den
After dinner rest a while, after supper walk a mile
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
Ask no questions and hear no lies
Better safe than sorry
Children Have Wide Ears and Long Tongues
Diligence is the mother of good fortune
Eat well, stay fit, die anyway
Experience is the best teacher
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
God is Always on the Side of the Big Battalions
He is always right who suspects that he makes mistakes
He who laughs last laughs longest
If the cap fits, wear it
It is better to love and lost than never to love at all
Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground
Life is not all beer and skittles
Love is blind
Merry Nights Make Sorry Days
Never stand on the tail of a hedgehog after midnight
Old fish and young flesh feed men best
Opportunity seldom knocks twice
Rats desert a sinking ship
St Swithins Day, if thou does rain, for forty days it will remain, St Swithins day if thou be fair for forty days twill rain no more
The best throw of the dice is to throw them away
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence
The rotten apple injures its neighbours
There will be rubs in the smoothest road
Too many clicks spoil the browse
We all get heavier as we get older because there is a lot more information in our heads
When It Rains and the Sun Shines at the Same Time the Devil is Beating his Wife
You cannot get blood from a stone
A crowd is not company
A good man is hard to find
A man is at his tallest when he stoops to help a child |
