Barking dogs seldom bite
|
Those who make loud threats seldom carry them out.
| |
Better late than never
|
To do something that is right, profitable, or good a little late is still better than not doing it at all.
| |
A bird in hand is worth two in the bush
|
Something that one already has is better than going after something seemingly more worthwhile that one may not be able to get.
| |
Birds of a feather flock together
|
People of the same sort of character or belief always go together.
| |
Call a spade a spade
|
If you say that someone calls a spade a spade, you mean that they speak frankly and directly, often about embarrassing or unpleasant subjects; an informal expression.
| |
Charity begins at home
|
A person's first obligation
should be to help the member of his own family before he can begin
thinking of talking about helping others.
| |
Dead men tell no lies
|
( often used as an argument for killing someone whose knowledge of a secret may cause one loss or get into serious trouble.)
| |
A great talker is a great liar
|
A smooth and persuasive talker may be a good liar.
| |
Every cloud has a silver lining
|
If you say that every cloud
has a silver lining, you mean that every sad or unpleasant situation has
a positive side to it. If you talk about silver lining you are talking
about something positive that comes out of a sad or unpleasant
situation.
| |
All that glitters is not gold
|
Do not be deceived by things or offers that appear to be attractive.
| |
Eat to live, but do not live to eat
|
Man was created for a divine purpose and he has a destiny with his Creator - he was not born just to enjoy food.
| |
Don't put all your eggs in one basket
|
One should not risk everything he has in a single venture.
| |
Every dog has its day
|
Everyone will get a period of success or satisfaction during his lifetime.
| |
Every one can find fault, few can do better
|
It is easier to find fault in other people's actions or methods than to do it properly or correctly.
| |
Any time means no time
|
When an event is not decided on or planned earlier it will never take place.
| |
Fair exchange is no robbery
|
A contract is fair as long
as both the parties understand and agree to the conditions willingly;
after a deal is closed neither side can turn around and say that he was
unfairly treated.
| |
Fire is a good servant but a bad master
|
Fire, like any other manmade tool or device, will serve man well only when it is controlled and used wisely.
