March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb
Never play leapfrog with a unicorn
Nothing succeeds like success
Only mad dogs and englishmen go out in the midday sun
Quality is better than quantity
Some are Wise and Some are Otherwise
The best doctors are Dr Diet, Dr Quiet and Dr Merryman
The first faults are theirs that commit them, the second theirs that permit them
The price of greatness is responsibility
There is no jollity but hath a smack of folly
To the world you may be one person but to one person you may be the world
Walk before you can run
When fortune smiles, embrace her
You are never a loser till you quit trying
A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain
A fair exchange is no robbery
A gossips mouth is the devils postbag
A miss is as good as a mr
A stitch in time saves nine
Agree, For The Law is Costly
Angry Men Make Themselves a Bed of Nettles
Be just before you are generous
Better to have loved and lost, than never have loved at all
Clothes make a man
Do as I say, and not as I do
Every bird loves to hear himself sing
Fall seven times, stand up eight
Fortune favours the brave
Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget
He That Brings Good News Knocks Hard
He who rides a tiger is afraid to dismount
If you believe everything you read, you better not read
It is good to have company in misery
Know which side your bread is buttered
Like father, like son
Love nature , live lightly
Money makes the world go around
No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness
Once bitten twice shy
Past cure, past care
Saying is one thing; doing another
Strike while the iron is hot
The course of true love never did run smooth
The King can make a knight, but not a gentleman
The trouble with experience is that by the time you have it, you are too old to take advantage of it
Think before you speak
Trust is the mother of deceit
Well Begun is Half Done
When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise
You cant buy love
A change is as good as a rest
A good beginning makes a good ending
A leopard cannot change its spots
A ruler who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain that leaves no crops
Admiration is the daughter of ignorance
All you need is love
as strong as love
Better an open enemy, than a false friend
Bread is the staff of life
Dead men tell no tales
Draw Not Your Bow Till the Arrow is Fixed
Everything comes to him who waits
Flies Come to Feasts Unasked
God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers
Hard work never did anyone any harm
He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin
If a son is uneducated, his dad is to blame
In the land of hope there is never any winter
Its only rock n roll but I like it
Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved
Look on the bright side
Many things are lost for want of asking
Never murder a man who is committing suicide
Nothing seems expensive on credit
Only fools and horses work
Quality is an excuse for lack of quantity
Softly, softly, catchee monkey
The best advice is found on the pillow
The female of the species is more deadly than the male
The pot calls the kettle black
There is no difference between a wise man and a fool when they fall in love
To the victor the spoils
Visit your aunt, but not every day of the year
When distrust enters in at the foregate, love goes out at the postern
You are a long time dead
A black plum is as sweet as a white
A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions
A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains
A person who can smile when things go wrong has found someone to blame it on
A wise head keeps a still tongue
all in good time
Appearances are deceptive
Beauty is only skin deep
Better wed over the mixen than over the moor
Confession is good for the soul
Do not use a hatchet to remove a fly from a friends forehead
Every devil has not a cloven hoof
Fight fire with fire
From the sweetest wine the tartest vinegar
Great minds think alike
He That Teaches Himself has a Fool for his Master
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
If you want a place in the sun, you must leave the shade of the family tree
It never rains but it pours
Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth
Little and large
Lucky at cards, unlucky in love
Necessity is the mother of invention
No news is good news
One cannot quarrel without an opponent
Perfection is inperfect
Seven-fifths of all people do not understand fractions
Tailors and writers must mind the fashion
The devil tempts all, but the idle man tempts the devil
The Mills of God Grind Slowly, Yet They Grind Exceedingly Small
There are none so blind as those that will not see
Time and tide wait for no man
Two heads are better than one
What goes around, comes around
While there is life there is hope
You get what you give
A chain is no stronger than its weakest link
A golden key opens all doors
A lender nor borrower be
A rolling stone gathers no moss
Actions speak louder than words
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
as soft as velvet
Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a rich man whose ways are perverse
Boys will be boys
Danger can never be overcome without taking risks
Draw a line under
Everyone stretches his legs according to the length of his coverlet
Fish are no respectors of human boredom, so why go angling
Go to heaven for the climate and hell for the company
Happy is the bride the sun shines on
He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son
Idle people lack no excuses
In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has
Its a wise child that knows its own father
Life begins at forty |
