The only free cheese is in the mouse trap
| Be careful when people offer you something for nothing, as they may be trying to trap or cheat you | |
The only stupid question is the one that is not asked
| The more questions you ask, the more you learn, so do not be shy or afraid to ask questions | |
The proof of the pudding is in the eating
| How good something is can only be verified by evaluating it | |
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
| A persons' good intentions are not enough to guarantee success | |
The start of a journey should never be mistaken for success
| Do not assume you have succeeded at something when you have only just started on it | |
The truth is in the wine
| People speak more freely when they are drunk, often revealing secrets | |
The truth hurts
| Hearing the truth can sometimes be painful, especially when you have been believing something else for a long time | |
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong
| Only a morally strong person is able to forgive people who have hurt him | |
The wish is father to the thought
| Often, you think about and eventually act upon what you wish for | |
There are no endings, only new beginnings
| Do not think of an ending as the end of something but as the beginning of a new cycle or phase | |
There are no small parts, only small actors
| A good actor is able to make any role interesting and realistic, no matter how insignificant it may be | |
There only only twenty-four hours in a day
| Time is a limited resource, so use it wisely | |
There is a time and a place for everything
| Act according to the occasion | |
There is many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip
| Anything can go wrong at any time before a matter is settled | |
There is many at a true word that is spoken in jest
| A remark, such as something about a person's character, that is said jokingly, is often true to some extent | |
| ||
There is no fool like an old fool
| When an older person acts silly, he appears really ridiculous because at his age, he is expected to be wise and sensible | |
There no honor among thieves
| You cannot trust a thief | |
There is no point arguing with the barrel of a gun
| It is pointless trying to argue with a very angry or violent person | |
There is no such thing as a free lunch
| Nothing comes free |
