Unit 20. A List of English Proverbs and Sayings
A bad workman always blames his tools. A friend in need is a friend indeed. After a storm comes a calm. After dinner sleep a while, after supper walk a mile. A good beginning is half the work. - A good beginning makes half the battle. A good beginning makes a good ending. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. An ant is small but digs hills. An attempt is not torture. A new broom sweeps clean. All is well that ends well. All roads lead to Rome. All that glitters is not gold. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening. Appearances are deceptive. As clear as day. A sea gathers by drops. A small pot is soon hot. A sound mind in a sound body. As you sow, so you reap. Barking dogs seldom bite. Better a tomtit in the hands than a crane in the sky. Better late than never. Better the foot slip than the tongue. By hook or by crook. Chickens are counted in autumn. Choose an author as you choose a friend. Curiosity killed the cat. Dog does not eat dog. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Don’t carry coals to Newcastle. Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched. Don’t cross a bridge before you come to it. Don’t cut the bough you are standing on. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Don’t trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. East or West, home is best. Everything is good in its season. Extremes meet. Forbidden fruit is sweetest. God gives to those who get up early. Good health is above wealth. Half heart is no heart. Handsome is as handsome does. Haste makes waste. Healthy habits make healthy bodies. He laughs best who laughs last. He who likes borrowing dislikes paying. Health is not valued till sickness comes. Hungry is a hunter. If you chase (run after) two hares, you will catch none. If you hurry you will make people laugh. Ill weeds grow apace. It’s never too late to learn. It’s never too late to mend. Learn to walk before you run. Let bygones be bygones. Live and learn. Live and let live. Lost time is never found again. Love is blind. Make hay while the sun shines. Man proposes, God disposes. Much ado about nothing. Much work and no play never makes people gay. Near and dear. Necessity is the mother of invention. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. No gain without pain. No news is good news. Nothing venture, nothing have. Of two evils choose the less. One man no man. One swallow does not make a spring. One who does not do anything never makes mistakes. Out of sight out of mind. Promise little but do much. Roll my log, and I’ll roll yours. Rome wasn’t built in a day. So many men, so many minds. Soon learnt soon forgotten. Speak less but do more. Still waters run deep. Strike the iron while it is hot. Such carpenters, such chips. Take the bull by the horns. Talk of the devil and he appears. Tastes differ. The appetite comes with eating. The devil is not so frightful as he is painted. The early bird catches the worm. The exception proves the rule. The frightened crow is afraid of a bush. The game is not worth the candle. The leopard can’t change his spots. There is no evil without good. There is no place like home. There is no rose without a thorn. There is no smoke without fire. Time and tide wait for no man. Time cures all things. Time flies. Time is money. Time works wonders. To be as like as two peas. To know everything is to know nothing. Too many cooks spoil the broth. Two heads are better than one. Walls have ears. Well begun is half done. What can’t be cured must be endured. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When misfortune has come, open the gate. Where there is a will, there is a way. You cannot be fed on “tomorrows” You cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs. You cannot unscramble eggs. You cannot judge a book by its cover. Yüklə 1,2 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
