English Proverbs


A lie travels round the world while truth is putting her boots on.

You cannot get to the top by sitting on your bottom.

A good conscience is a soft pillow.

An idle brain is the devil's workshop.

A stitch in time saves nine.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

Discretion is the better part of valor.

Great talkers are little doers.

He is rich who owes nothing.

Love conquers all.

Small things come in small packages.

Dead men tell no lies.

Every man has his price.

Give and take is fair play.

Fine words butter no parsnips.

Marry in haste, repent at leisure.

A bird in a hand is worth two in a bush.
