The cure is worse than the disease
| Some solutions seem worse than the problem | |
The customer is always right
| The guiding principle of the service industry is that the customer must be satisfied, so never upset or contradict a customer | |
The darkest hour is that before the dawn
| Relief or victory comes just after the worst phase of a bad situation | |
The eyes are the window of the soul
| A person's eyes express his true feelings, thoughts etc | |
The fat is in the fire
| It is too late to do anything about a situation | |
The first step is the hardest
| Starting is often the most difficult part of doing a job | |
The first step to health is to know that we are sick
| You have to be willing to admit there is a problem before you can change yourself, a bad situation etc | |
The head and feet keep warm, the rest will take no harm
| If you take care of the important matters, everything else will fall into place | |
The journey is the reward
| The most valuable, fulfilling and exciting part of achieving something is the work and effort put into the endeavour | |
The least said, the soonest mended
| The less you say during a quarrel, the greater chance there is for you to patch up later | |
The longest mile is the last mile home
| The nearer you are to your destination, the further away from you it seems | |
The more acquaintance, the more danger
| The more casual friends you have, the greater the possibility that you will be led astray, betrayed etc | |
The more one knows, the less one believes
| The more information you have about something, the more unsure or suspicious you can become of it | |
The more things change, the more they stay the same
| Some changes are only outward, the actual problems remain the same | |
The more you get, the more you want
| The more you have, the more you want to have because greed grows in you | |
The more you know, the more you know you don't know
| The more knowledge you acquire, the more aware you are of how little you know about life | |
The nail that sticks out gets pounded
| People who stand out in a group because they are different or because they raise questions, issues are quickly pressured into conforming with the rest of the group | |
The nearer the bone, the sweeter the meat
| The closer you get to your goal or objective, the more thrilled or excited you get |
