When good cheer is lacking, our friends will be packing
When I turned myself over to God, i took my life out the hands of an idiot
When in doubt, do nothing
When in Rome, do as the Romans do
When It Rains and the Sun Shines at the Same Time the Devil is Beating his Wife

When the student is ready, the master will appear
When the wine is in, the wit is out
When two buffalo fight, it is the grass that gets hurt!
When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise
When you become successful in any type of life, there are people who are not contributing to the motion
When you live in the past, it costs you the present
Where the carcass is, there shall the eagles be gathered together
Wherever you may be let your wind go free
While there is life there is hope
Who feels guilty, feels responsible
Who keeps company with the wolf will learn how to howl
Why bark when you can get a dog to do it
Wise children have short years
wish upon a star
Without rice, even the cleverest housewife cannot cook
Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down
Wonders will never cease
Work expands so as to fill the time available
Work is the curse of the drinking classes
Yesterday is ashes; tomorrow wood Only today does the fire burn brightly
You are a long time dead
You are never a loser till you quit trying
You can have too much of a good thing
You can only go as far as you push
You can throw a cat however you want; it always lands on its feet
You cannot burn the candle at both ends
You cannot get blood from a stone
You cannot get to the top by sitting on your bottom
You cannot lose what you never had
You cannot make bricks without straw
You cannot run with the hare and hunt with the hounds
You cannot sell the cow and sup the milk
You cant buy love
You cant hurry love
You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar
You do well to believe in God Satan also believes and trembles
You get out of life what you put into it
You get what you give
You have to be in it to win it
You have to understand, somethings you will never understand
You might as well be hanged for a sheep as for a lamb
You never know what you can do until you try
You only live once
You win some, you lose some
Your day starts with what you say to yourself
Your future lies before you like a field of driven snow Be careful how you tread it for every step will show
Your troubles seem larger the longer you look at them
Youth and Old Age Will Never Agree
Youth is wasted on the young

Zeal without knowledge is the sister of folly
Zeal without knowledge, is fire without light

Manners maketh man
Many a mickle makes a muckle
Many a true word is spoken in jest

Many hands make light work
Many people know how to say nothing; few know when
Many things are lost for want of asking
March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb
March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers
Marry in haste, and repent at leisure

Never put off til tomorrow what you can do today
Never put your tongue on an iceberg
Never say die
Never speak ill of the dead
Never stand on the tail of a hedgehog after midnight
Never the twain shall meet
Never too old to learn
Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you
Night is the Mother of Counsel
No Good Building Without a Good Foundation
No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness
No man is a hero to his valet
No man is an island
No man is wise at all times
No matter how long a log stays in the water it does not become a crocodile
No news is good news
No one grows old by living; only by losing interest in living
No one is expected to achieve the impossible
No pain, no gain
No wind, no waves
None but the brave deserve the fair
None but the wearer knows where the shoe pinches
None so deaf as those who will not hear
Not to know is bad; not to wish to know is worse
Nothing is certain but death and taxes
Nothing is interesting if you are not interested
Nothing seems expensive on credit
Nothing succeeds like success
Nothing that is worth knowing can be taught
nothing to worry about
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Nowt so queer as folk!


Old fish and young flesh feed men best
Old friends and wine are best
Old habits die hard
Old sins cast long shadows
on cloud nine
on second thoughts
on the crest of a wave
On the Turf all men are equal, and under it
Once a word leaves your mouth, you cannot chase it back even with the swiftest horse
Once bitten twice shy
Once in a blue moon
Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale
Once seen never forgotten
One beats the bush, another takes the bird
One cannot quarrel without an opponent
One foolish sheep will lead the flock
One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy, five for silver, six for gold seven for a secret not to be sold Eight for heaven nine for hell and ten for the devils own cell
One good turn deserves another
One good turn deserves half the blankets
one in a million
One mans loss is another mans gain
One mans meat is another mans poison!
One of these days is none of these days
one thing after another
One volunteer is worth ten pressed men
One who has the reputation of an early riser may safely lie in bed until noon
One years seeding means seven years weeding
Only fools and horses work
Only mad dogs and englishmen go out in the midday sun
Only time will tell
Only when all contribute their firewood can they build up a strong fire
Opportunities always look bigger going than coming
Opportunity makes a thief
Opportunity seldom knocks twice
Out of sight, out of mind
out of the blue
Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings
over the moon

[O M I D]

Between the devil and the deep sea



To choose between two equally bad alternatives in a serious dilemma.

A friend in need is a friend indeed

A hungry man is an angry man


A person who does not get what he wants or needs is a frustrated person and will be easily provoked to rage.












Empty vessels make the most noise


Those people who have a little knowledge usually talk the most and make the greatest fuss.












A man is as old as he feels


A person's age is immaterial - it is only when he thinks and feels that he is ageing that he actually becomes old.












Great talkers are little doers


Those people who talk a lot and are always teaching others usually do not do much work.












An idle brain is the devil's workshop


One who has nothing to do will be tempted to do many mischievous acts.












An ounce of discretion is worth a pound of wit


It is better to be careful and discrete than to be clever.












Faint heart never won fair lady


To succeed in life one must have the courage to pursue what he wants.












A penny saved is a penny gained


By being thrifty one will be able to save up.












A rolling stone gathers no moss



A person who never settles in one place or who often changes his job will not succeed in life ; one who is always changing his mind will never get anything done.

One will either enjoy or suffer the consequences of his earlier actions or inactions.












Barking dogs seldom bite


Those who make loud threats seldom carry them out.












Better late than never

A bird in hand is worth two in the bush

Birds of a feather flock together


People of the same sort of character or belief always go together.












Call a spade a spade



If you say that someone calls a spade a spade, you mean that they speak frankly and directly, often about embarrassing or unpleasant subjects; an informal expression.

Every cloud has a silver lining



If you say that every cloud has a silver lining, you mean that every sad or unpleasant situation has a positive side to it. If you talk about silver lining you are talking about something positive that comes out of a sad or unpleasant situation.












All that glitters is not gold


Do not be deceived by things or offers that appear to be attractive.












Eat to live, but do not live to eat


Man was created for a divine purpose and he has a destiny with his Creator - he was not born just to enjoy food.












Don't put all your eggs in one basket


One should not risk everything he has in a single venture.












Every dog has its day


Everyone will get a period of success or satisfaction during his lifetime.












Every one can find fault, few can do better


It is easier to find fault in other people's actions or methods than to do it properly or correctly.












Any time means no time


When an event is not decided on or planned earlier it will never take place.












Fair exchange is no robbery



A contract is fair as long as both the parties understand and agree to the conditions willingly; after a deal is closed neither side can turn around and say that he was unfairly treated.
