An army marches on its stomach

An army marches on its stomach		You need to eat for energy to complete your tasks
An empty bag will not stand upright		Quality comes with effort
Appearances are deceptive		What looks good may not really be so
April showers bring May flowers		Unpleasant events can sometimes lead to better things
As soon as a man is born, he begins to die		Death is the destiny of every man
Ask no questions and hear no lies		Do not force a person into telling you a lie by forcing him to talk about something he does not want to talk about
Avoid evil and it will avoid thee		Stay out of trouble, and trouble will not follow you
Bad news travels fast		People seem to hear bad news very fast
Bad is never good until worse happens		A bad situation you have been complaining about will suddenly seem a blessing when something worse happens
Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it		What you wish for may not really be what is good for you
Beauty is only skin-deep		Looks are not the most important thing about a person
Behind every successful man is a woman		A man's strongest and most loyal supporters are usually his mother and/or his wife
Better a mouse in the pot than no meat at all		To have something, no matter how little or poor in quality, is better than to have nothing at all
Do as I saw, and not as I do		Do something as you have seen it done although it may be different from your own way of doing it
Doctors make the worst patients		It is difficult advising people on matters they are supposed to be experts on because they believe they know better
Don't go near the water until you learn how to swim		Do not try to do something before you have learnt how to do it or before you are ready for it
Don't mend what isn't broken		Do not change things that are working fine as they are
Don't shut the barn door after the horse is gone		prepare for emergencies and eventualities before they happen
Don't teach your grandmother how to suck eggs		Do not be presumptuous and teach an experienced person how things should be done
