English Proverbs |
Give a dog bad name and hang him Adamın adı çıkacağına canı çıksın A quiet baby gets no suck Better late than never Barking dog never bites It never rains, but pours Your mother alone will be wail on you You can’t teach an old dog new tricks Save up something for a rainy day Every cloud has a silver lining All that glitters isn’t gold Man make houses, women make homes Better lose the saddle than the horse If the cap fits, wear it Cheats never prosper Too many cooks spoil the broth Two cunning men will not try to make a dupe of each other Talk of the devil and you’ll see his hoofs A friend in need is a friend indeed A change is as good as a rest Don’t teach your grandmother to suck eggs Cleanliness is next to godliness Do as the Romans do when in Rome Speech is silver, but silence is gold The early bird gets the worm He that laughs last laughs best Once burnt twice shy Good words are worth much, and cost little Throw out a sprat to catch a mackerel All his geese are swans As you make your bed, you lie on it Spare the rod and spoil the child The apples on the other side of the wall are the sweetest Nothing venture, nothing have Covards die many times before their deaths The rotten apple injures its neighbours Bad news travels fast As you sow, so you shall reap Christmas come but once a year Who pays the piper calls the tune Everything comes to him who waits All well that ends well It’s not over until the fat lady sings An apple a day keeps the doctor away |
