Speak of the devil and he's sure to appear What you say when you are talking of someone, and he appears Speak when you are spoken to Respond when you are asked a question Starve a cold, feed a fever The best way to treat a cold is to skip a meal or two; the best way to treat fever is to have a light meal Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me The unkind words of small-minded people should not upset or depress you Stolen fruit is the sweetest Things that are forbidden to you seem to be the most exciting or tempting Success is a journey, not a destination The most treasured part of an achievement is the experience and lessons you learn in the process Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof Do not be troubled about the problems you may face tomorrow, as you have enough to contend with today Take care of the pence, and the pounds will take care of themselves Pay attention to the details and the larger issues will work out well enough Talk is cheap Talk that is not backed up with action is useless Tell the truth and shame the devil Tell the truth at all times The acorn never falls far from the tree Children tend to resemble their parents The best laid schemes of mice and men often fail No matter how well planned, your arrangements can go wrong because you do not control all events and cannot see into the future The best of friends must part Even good friends sometimes need to part, if only for a while The best things come in small packages Expensive things which are considered among the best things, can come in small packages The best things in life are free The most important things in life such as love, kindness, generosity etc. are free The bigger they are, the harder they fall The bigger a problem the greater its impact The calm comes before the storm There is usually peace before disaster strikes The child is father to the man Your experiences as a child mould you as an adult The cure is worse than the disease Some solutions seem worse than the problem The customer is always right The guiding principle of the service industry is that the customer must be satisfied, so never upset or contradict a customer The darkest hour is that before the dawn Relief or victory comes just after the worst phase of a bad situation The eyes are the window of the soul A person's eyes express his true feelings, thoughts etc The fat is in the fire It is too late to do anything about a situation The first step is the hardest Starting is often the most difficult part of doing a job The first step to health is to know that we are sick You have to be willing to admit there is a problem before you can change yourself, a bad situation etc The head and feet keep warm, the rest will take no harm If you take care of the important matters, everything else will fall into place The journey is the reward The most valuable, fulfilling and exciting part of achieving something is the work and effort put into the endeavour The least said, the soonest mended The less you say during a quarrel, the greater chance there is for you to patch up later The longest mile is the last mile home The nearer you are to your destination, the further away from you it seems The more acquaintance, the more danger The more casual friends you have, the greater the possibility that you will be led astray, betrayed etc The more one knows, the less one believes The more information you have about something, the more unsure or suspicious you can become of it The more things change, the more they stay the same Some changes are only outward, the actual problems remain the same The more you get, the more you want The more you have, the more you want to have because greed grows in you The more you know, the more you know you don't know The more knowledge you acquire, the more aware you are of how little you know about life The nail that sticks out gets pounded People who stand out in a group because they are different or because they raise questions, issues are quickly pressured into conforming with the rest of the group The nearer the bone, the sweeter the meat The closer you get to your goal or objective, the more thrilled or excited you get http://htxt.it/V7G3
