He knows most who speaks last
| The one who waits to listen to what others have to say before speaking has a better understanding of a situation | |
He that goes a-borrowing, goes a -sorrowing
| Do not make borrowing a habit as you will suffer for it in the end | |
He that is master of himself, will soon be master of masters
| Self-discipline will help you achieve greatness | |
He that knows nothing, doubts nothing
| An ignorant person usually raises no questions because he is not aware that problems exist | |
He that plants thorns must never expect to gather roses
| If you do evil, do not expect good to come to you | |
He who dares, wins
| You can only win or succeed if you are willing to take risks | |
He who fails to prepare, prepares to fail
| lack of preparation will cause you to lose or fail | |
He who hesitates is lost
| You will lose opportunities if you are indecisive and not fast enough to grab them | |
He who knows does not speak. He who speaks does not know
| It is an ironic situation when someone who should speak up does not while the person who should not, does | |
He who likes borrowing dislikes paying
| People who tend to borrow often are usually slow in settling debts | |
He who lives too fast, goes to his grave too soon
| If you do not allow yourself to rest once in a while when you lead a fast-paced life, you will suffer from stress, burnt out and illness | |
He who sleeps forgets his hunger
| sleeping is a good way to forget you are hungry, especially when there is no food for you and you have no money to buy any | |
He who serves two masters must lie to one
| You cannot effectively or fully serve two people as your attention, loyalty, commitment etc. will be split between the two | |
He who stands for nothing will fall for everything
| A person with no principles or opinions of his own will tend to go along with anything anyone tells him, and can, therefore, be easily cheated | |
He who sups with the devil has need of a long spoon
| If you keep company with or work for dangerous or evil people, you will need to be very careful | |
| ||
He who will steal an egg will steal an ox
| A person who steals small things is likely to steal big things too | |
Health is better than wealth
| It is better to be healthy than rich, as without a healthy body you can do nothing, and cannot enjoy your wealth | |
History repeats itself
| People tend to repeat mistakes made by others over the generations, not learning from them |
