Proverbs


Books are hindrances to persisting stupidity. Unknown

Better to see the face than to hear the name. Unknown

It is nought good a sleeping hound to wake. Unknown

Two cannot fall out if one does not choose. Unknown

To speak kindly does not hurt the tongue. Unknown

A pig bought on credit is forever grunting. Unknown

Win without boasting, lose without excuse. Unknown

Two buckets of tears will not heal a bruise. Unknown

Today’s egg is better than tomorrow’s hen. Unknown

Nothing can be done except little by little. Unknown

A fox is not taken twice in the same snare. Unknown

Those who lose today may win tomorrow. Unknown

If the wind will not serve, take to the oars. Unknown

One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Unknown

Who begins too much accomplishes little. Unknown

Wishing does not make a poor man rich. Unknown

To a quick question, give a slow answer. Unknown

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Unknown

Never rely on the glory of the morning. Unknown

The willing contemplation of vice is vice. Unknown

If better is possible, good is not enough. Unknown
