truth will out.

      Truth about something will eventually be discovered or made known.

      Two wrongs do not make a right.

      If a person does something to harm or offend us, that's wrong.

      If we do something to harm them back, that's wrong too.

      The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

      Most men love to eat so feed your husband well and he will always love you.

      Wear out one's welcome.

      One is no longer welcome, usually because he has become a nuisance.

      When poverty comes in the door, love flies out the window.

      As soon as a happily married couple begin having financial problems and the bills pile up their love will disappear.

      Who keeps company with wolves, will learn to howl.

      If we associate with bad companions we, too, will become bad.

      Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.

      If you are rich and successful, you will attract many friends, but if you should suffer hardship or have misfortune ( adversity ), your friends will quickly depart.

      History tends to repeat itself.

      What has happened once is liable to happen again.

      Cross the stream where it is shallowest.

      Don't make things difficult for yourself; always find the simplest means of achieving your objective.

      It is useless to flog a dead horse.

      It is no use spending your time and energy on an activity or belief that is already widely rejected or outdated.

      Every oak must be an acorn.

      Everything has to have a small beginning.

      A good name is sooner lost than won.

      It takes a long time to build up a good reputation which can be easily destroyed by misconduct.

      The best fish swim near the bottom.

      The best things are hard to come by.

      You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

      You cannot change a person's real character.

      It never rains but it pours.

      Events, especially misfortunes, always come together and not one at a time.

      The darkest hour is that before dawn.

      Even when things seem at their very worst, they may shortly improve.

      A light purse makes a heavy heart.

      We cannot be cheerful when we have financial problems.

      A nod is as good as a wink.

      A hint or suggestion can be accepted and acted upon without further elaboration.

      Do not ride the high horse.

      Do not be arrogant.

      Even Homer sometimes nods.

      Even the best of us are liable to make mistakes.

      There is no place like home.

      Even a simple home is the best place in the world for the people who live in it.

      A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.

      It is not what a thing is called that matters, but what it is.

      A man's home is his castle.

      You feel most secure, free and in control in your own home.

      A pot of milk is ruined by a drop of poison.

      Something bad no matter how small can ruin all your plans, successes etc.

      A small leak will sink a great ship.

      Small problems are worth the time to fix as they can eventually cause great damage.

      A wise man changes his mind sometimes, a fool never.

      It is wise to reconsider your plans, ideas, actions in the light of new information rather than to blindly stick to an earlier decision.

      An army marches on its stomach.

      You need to eat for energy to complete your tasks.

      An empty bag will not stand upright.

      Quality comes with effort.

      Appearances are deceptive.

      What looks good may not really be so.

      April showers bring May flowers.

      Unpleasant events can sometimes lead to better things.

      Ask no questions and hear no lies.

      Do not force a person into telling you a lie by forcing him to talk about something he does not want to talk about.

      Avoid evil and it will avoid thee.

      Stay out of trouble, and trouble will not follow you.

      Bad news travels fast.

      People seem to hear bad news very fast.

      Bad is never good until worse happens.

      A bad situation you have been complaining about will suddenly seem a blessing when something worse happens.

      Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.

      What you wish for may not really be what is good for you.

      Beauty is only skin-deep.

      Looks are not the most important thing about a person.

      Behind every successful man is a woman.

      A man's strongest and most loyal supporters are usually his mother and/or his wife.

      Better a mouse in the pot than no meat at all.

      To have something, no matter how little or poor in quality, is better than to have nothing at all.

      Do as I saw, and not as I do.

      Do something as you have seen it done although it may be different from your own way of doing it.

      Doctors make the worst patients.

      It is difficult advising people on matters they are supposed to be experts on because they believe they know better.

      Don't go near the water until you learn how to swim.

      Do not try to do something before you have learnt how to do it or before you are ready for it.

      A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.

      The success of a group or team depends on the full commitment of every member

      A closed mouth catches no flies.

      It is better not to say anything than to say something that might get you into trouble.

      A good beginning makes a good ending/well begun half done.

      Something that starts off right will probably succeed all the way and end on the right note.

      Don't mend what isn't broken.

      Do not change things that are working fine as they are.

      Don't shut the barn door after the horse is gone.

      prepare for emergencies and eventualities before they happen.

      Don't
