Strangers are just friends you have not met yet The horses of hope gallop, but the asses of experience go slowly The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit Things that come to those who wait may be things left by those who got there first True love never grows old Wedlock is a padlock When two buffalo fight, it is the grass that gets hurt! You cannot sell the cow and sup the milk A barking dog never bites A faithful friend is a medicine for life A great dowry is a bed full of brambles A new broom sweeps clean A tidy house holds a bored woman All are not cooks that walk with long knives Another day, another dollar Be kind to people on the way up, you may need them when you are on your way down Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness Coin a phrase Do as you would be done by Every body wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die Familiarity breeds contempt Four things drive a man out of his house: too much smoke, a dripping roof, filthy air and a scolding wife Good people are scarce He that is master of himself, will soon be master of others
He who sups with the devil should have a long spoon
If you educate a man you educate an individual but if you educate a woman you educate a family It is in vain to cast your net where there is no fish Knowing is not enough; We must Apply Willing is not enough; We must Do Like flogging a dead horse Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear More haste less speed No man is a hero to his valet Once in a blue moon Patience is a virtue Second place is first loser Success has many fathers, while failure is an orphan The darkest hour is just before dawn The last drop makes the cup run over The world is full of willing people: some willing to work and some willing to let them Think Much, Speak Little and Write Less Try praying Nothing pleses God more than to hear a strange voice Well done is better than well said When you become successful in any type of life, there are people who are not contributing to the motion You cant hurry love
A constant guest is never welcome
A Good Example is the Best Sermon A man comes from the dust and in the dust he will end - and in the meantime it is good to drink a sip of vodka A short absence quickens love, a long absence kills it After a famine in the stall comes a famine in the hall An ant may well destroy a whole dam As you make your bed, so must you lie in it Better do it than wish it done Charity begins at home Desperate Diseases Call for Desperate Remedies Dump husband in September, you have to get rid of the spiders Experience is a great servant Folly grows without watering God help the poor, for the rich can help themselves Hate is like cancer slowly eating us away inside He who is ABSENT is always in the Wrong If in doubt, mumble It is nice to be important but it is more important to be nice Judge not that you be not judged
Life is like a drawing pin - sharp at one end, and flat at the other
Lots of people confuse bad management with destiny Marry in haste, and repent at leisure Never put your tongue on an iceberg nothing to worry about Only when all contribute their firewood can they build up a strong fire Rain before seven, fine before eleven Sometimes the majority only means all the fools are on the same side The best of men are but men at best The fish will soon be caught, that nibbles at every bait The proof of the pudding is in the eating There is no such thing as a free lunch To whom God gives, to him also the people give War does not always decide who it right but it always decides who is left! When I turned myself over to God, i took my life out the hands of an idiot You can only go as far as you push A bad custom is like a good cake, better broken than kept A Deaf Husband and a Blind Wife are Always a Happy Couple A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold A Man of Words and Not of Deeds is Like a Garden Full of Weeds A soft answer turneth away wrath After the storm comes the calm An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth Bad news travels fast
Better to be alone than in bad company
Christmas comes but once a year Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow Enough is as good as a feast Faint heart never won fair lady Football is a game of two halves Golden dishes will never turn black He is at Ease Who Has Enough He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword If the wind will not serve, take to the oars It is better to wear out than to rust out Keep your powder dry Lightning never strikes twice Love is the strangest thing Might is right Never too old to learn Old habits die hard Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings Revenge is a dish best served cold Still waters run deep The bigger they are, the harder they fall The higher the monkey climbs, the more he shows his tail The stick is the surest peacemaker They that dance must pay the fiddler Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it We do not care of what we have, but we cry when it is lost When poverty comes in at the door, love flies out of the window
You cannot lose what you never had
A child is a person who can dismantle in 5 minutes the toy it took you 5 hours to put together A good conscience is the best divinity A little of what you fancy does you good A scalded cat fears cold water Adversity doesnt build character, it reveals it Although the Sun May Shine, Leave Not Thy Cloak at Home As useful as a chocolate fireguard (or teapot) Better bend than break Business before pleasur Death is the great leveller Dream of a funeral and you hear of a marriage Everything must have a beginning Flies never visit an egg that has no crack God defend me from my friends; from my enemies I can defend myself Haste makes waste He who has once burnt his mouth always blows his soup If anything can go wrong, it will In the Land of the Blind the One Eyed Man is King Its too late to shut the stable door after the horse has bolted Life is just a bowl of cherries Look the other way |
