Life is just a bowl of cherries
|
Life is full of happiness and pleasure
| |
Like a bull in a china shop
|
A clumsy or tactless person
| |
Lock the stable door after the horse has bolted
|
Once a mistake has been made or an error committed, it's too late to take precautions to prevent it from happening.
| |
The longest day must have an end
|
All difficult jobs or situations also have an end.
| |
Losers weepers, finders keepers
|
If someone loses something, he weeps -- but if someone finds it, he keeps it.
| |
Love me, love my dog
|
If we want a person's friendship we must accept him totally, faults and all.
| |
Many hands make light work
|
Many people sharing a job or tasks make easier work of it.
| |
The mountain labors and brings forth a mouse
|
To work hard and long on a project that turns out to be pretty useless.
| |
Opportunity only knocks once
|
Seize an opportunity when it occurs for it may never happen again.
| |
An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure
|
It is even better to be cautious and prevent a misfortune or an accident from happening.
| |
Possession is nine points of the law
|
In disputes over property
ownership, the person in possession of something is sometimes said to
have nine-tenths a chance of winning it in a legal argument
| |
Promises are like pie crust
|
Most promises cannot be kept
| |
Put a quart into a pint pot
| Doing something that's impossible | |
The rain falls on the just and the unjust alike
| No matter how good or bad a person, he must still face the everyday problems that confront us all. | |
The sins of the fathers will be visited upon the children
| People will be punished for the wrongs committed by their parents, forefathers, or those who have preceded them. | |
Someone's bark is worse than his bite
| People sometimes bark but in time we learn they're not always as frightening as they seem. | |
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
| To do something unworthy just because it gives you the pleasure | |
A stitch in time saves nine
| By taking immediate action we can prevent a fault, damage or trouble from getting worse | |
A straw will show which way the wind blows
| A small incident can reveal an important event |
