A bad workman always blames his tools
|
A careless or unskilled worker blames bad work on his tools rather than himself.
| |
A new broom sweeps clean
|
A person newly appointed is always eager and enthusiastic in his work.
| |
Don't judge a book by its cover
|
Do not be deceived by appearances.
| |
Blood is thicker than water
|
Family ties are stronger than any other.
| |
Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
|
Do not make plans based on something that has not happened.
| |
Don't make a mountain out of a molehill
|
Do not make a big fuss or issue over something minor or small
| |
Experience is the best teacher
|
The best way to learn a job is to do it.
| |
The last straw that broke the camel's back
|
The final thing that, when added to a bad or unpleasant situation, causes failure or ruin.
| |
Look at the bright side
|
Be optimistic
| |
Make hay while the sun shines
|
Seize opportunities
| |
Out of sight, out of mind
|
You will soon forget friends you do not meet or keep in contact with.
| |
A leopard cannot change its spots
|
A person's nature cannot change.
| |
There are two sides to every question
| There are always two ways of looking at something | |
Too many cooks spoil the broth
| Too many people doing the same thing at the same time will not be successful | |
We never miss the water till the well runs dry
| You only realize the importance of something when it is gone | |
To put the cart before the horse
| To do something in an incorrect order | |
Bite off more than one can chew
| To try to do something one is unable to do or incapable of doing. | |
Half a loaf is better than none
| It's better to have or receive less than one desires than to have or receive nothing at all. | |
Have an old head on young shoulders
| Youngsters who possess qualities of wisdom one would only expect to find in experienced older people. |
