What kind of proverbs interest you? A stumble may prevent a fall All good things come to those who wait Everyone must row with the oars he has Every path has its puddle God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb One of these days is none of these days Revenge is a dish best served cold Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow Beauty without grace is like a hook without bait. Caught between a rock and a hard place Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea (to be stuck with two choices that are both undesirable) Out of the frying pan and into the fire (to go from a bad to a worse situation) Might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb (if you’re going to get into the same amount of trouble, you might as well commit the greater offense) Six of one, half a dozen of the other (each choice is really the same thing) Two sides of the same coin (two aspects of a situation that are connected by necessity) In for a penny, in for a pound (if you’re going to make a minor committment you might as well make the entire committment) Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched (don’t start making plans for something until it is a reality, rather than a pleasant speculation) Don’t cross your bridges before you get to them (don’t worry about future problems before you need to) A stitch in time saves nine (if you take care of a problem while it’s small you won’t have a bigger problem to deal with later) (or, as Dr. Who likes to say: A stitch in time takes up space) Time and tide wait for no man (act in a timely fashion because you can’t get back lost chances) (or, once again as Dr. Who likes to say: Time and tide melts the snowman.) To listen is to learn, and to understand is to inspire. A lie well stuck to is as good as the truth. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush BUT A man’s reach should exceed his grasp A miss is as good as a mile BUT Half a loaf is better than none All good things come to those who wait BUT Time and tide wait for no man Birds of a feather flock together BUT Opposites attract Clothes make the man BUT Never judge a book by its cover Don’t cross your bridges before you come to them BUT Forewarned is forearmed Doubt is the beginning of wisdom BUT Faith will move mountains Good things come in small packages BUT The bigger the better Great starts make great finishes BUT It ain’t over 'till it’s over He who hesitates is lost BUT Fools rush in where angels fear to tread BUT Look before you leap Practice makes perfect BUT All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy Silence is golden BUT The squeaky wheel gets the grease The pen is mightier than the sword BUT Actions speak louder than words You’re never too old to learn BUT You can’t teach an old dog new tricks What’s good for the goose is good for the gander BUT One man’s meat is another man’s poison.
