Proverbs


You cannot get blood out of a stone. Unknown

An idle man is the devil’s playfellow. Unknown

Two wrongs do not make a right. Unknown

Little boats must keep to the shore. Unknown

He laughs best who laughs last. Unknown

Spare the rod and spoil the child. Unknown

A bad penny always comes back. Unknown

It is better to be safe than sorry. Unknown

A closed mouth gathers no feet. Unknown

That suit is best that best suits me. Unknown

He who knows most, speaks least. Unknown

A beggar can never be bankrupt. Unknown

Self-praise is no recommendation. Unknown

The higher up, the greater the fall. Unknown

Better an enemy than a false friend. Unknown

The sleepy fox catches no chickens. Unknown

Use soft words and hard arguments. Unknown

Do not employ handsome servants. Unknown

Dig the well before you are thirsty. Unknown

Hold a true friend with both hands. Unknown
