Flattery brings friends, truth enemies
| People like to hear good things said about them although they may not be the truth | |
Fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me
| You should be alert to people trying to get the better of you | |
Fretting cares make grey hairs
| Worrying is a negative activity that can age you prematurely | |
Garbage in, garbage out
| If the information or input you provide is wrong, the end result will also be below par or flawed | |
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime
| It is better to teach people how to be independent by teaching them how to do things for themselves than to do everything for them | |
Give and take is fair play
| You should be willing to give in partly to others if you want them to give in partly to you | |
Give credit where credit is due
| Appreciate someone for the good work he ahs done | |
Give him an inch and he'll want a yard
| Some people always take advantage of favor that is shown them | |
Good fences make good neighbors
| Respect people's privacy and their territory | |
Good wine needs no bush
| Products of good quality do not need a lot of advertising, as their quality alone shows their worth | |
Goodness is better than beauty
| Inner beauty is more valuable than outer beauty | |
Grasp all, lose all
| If you are too greedy and try to grab everything you see, you might lose that and everything you have too | |
Green leaves and brown leaves fall from the same tree
| Everyone has a common beginning, and therefore, no one is above another | |
Happy wife, happy life
| If you have a happy or good life partner, you will be happy and contented | |
Hard words break no bones
| Ignore insults as they cannot physically harm you, and will only harm you emotionally if you let them | |
Haste makes waste
| Things that are done in a hurry are usually done sloppily, and may contain careless mistakes | |
He is rich who owes nothing
| A person who owes no one a debt is free of worry, and therefore, rich, in a sense | |
He is the best general who makes the fewest mistakes
| A good leader rarely makes mistakes |
