Ignorance is bliss
You can be happy when you do not know there are problems around you

Ignorance of the law excuses no man
Not knowing what you did was wrong does not excuse you from suffering the penalty

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
When someone copies what you do, it means they really admire you or the way you do things

It is best to be on the safe side
Play safe, and be prepared for the worst to happen

It takes two to tango
It takes two individuals to do certain things

It's a blessing in disguise
When an opportunity arrives through a crisis etc.

It's better to give than to receive
Giving is more blessed than receiving

It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
Do not be afraid to fall in love

Jam tomorrow and jam yesterday, but never jam today
What you early hope for does not seem to be happening

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
To progress at anything, you first need to get started

Judge not, lest ye be judged
Do not judge others as you are not perfect yourself, so be merciful in the hope that others will show you mercy one day

Keep no more cats than will catch mice
Do not acquire more than what you need

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer
Keep track of what your enemies are up to for your own protection

Kill not the goose that laid the golden egg
Do not be so foolish as to destroy the source of your good fortune out of pride, greed, anger etc

Kill two birds with one stone
Complete two tasks with one action


Kindness begets kindness
When you are kind to people, they will be kind to you in return

Knowledge is power
The more you learn, the greater influence you have over others

Laugh and grow fat
Laughter creates a sense of well-being and happiness

Laughter is the best medicine
being cheerful is good for your total well-being

Laughter is the shortest distance between two people
Laughter is the best way to break the ice between strangers or enemies

Learn to walk before you run
Do not rush into things before you are ready

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone
You qualify to judge someone only if you yourself are faultless

Let the buyer beware
Always be aware of what you are getting yourself into

Let us go hand in hand, not one before another
Face problems together in unity, and not alone or in a spirit of enmity

Lightning never strikes twice in the same place
The same misfortune will probably not occur again in the same place or to the same people

Like cures like
People who have been through something are usually able to help others with the same problem

Little boys should be seen and not heard
Children should not interrupt when adults are talking

Little by little and bit by bit
If you persevere at something, you will gradually accomplish it

Little enemies and little wounds must not be despised
Do not ignore people you have angered or hurt, however small the slight or injury, as they can harm you one day if they choose to bear a grudge

Little strokes feel great oaks
Continuous effort, however small the mount, will help you achieve your greatest dreams and ambitions

Little things please little minds
Childish people are thrilled by childish, petty things

Live and learn
Learn as much as you can from life

Live and let live
Get on with your own affairs and let other get on with theirs

Long absent, soon forgotten
If you are away for too long, people may forget you

Look after the pence, and the pounds will look after themselves
Take care of the details and the bigger issues will be solved

Look on the bright side
Be positive
