- A friend in need is a friend indeed-A friend who helps when one is in trouble is a true friend
- An apple a day keeps the doctor away-A small preventive treatment wards off serious problems
- An absence makes the heart grow fonder-When a person is not around,you think of him with greater affection and appreciate him more
- All that glitters is not gold-Do not deceived by outward appearances
- Birds of a feather flock together-People who have similar tastes tend to group together
- Beauty is but skin deep-Beauty does'nt last and should not be over-valued
- Bury the hatchet-Forget past quarrels and enmity and become friends again
- Cut your coat according to your cloth-Live within your means
- Don't put all your eggs into one basket-Don't risk everything you have in a single venture
- Every cloud has a silver lining-There is always hope even in the depths
- Half a loaf is better than none-It is better to get something than nothing at all
- In for a penny,in for a pound-If you start something,it's better to spend the time or money necessary to complete it
- To kill the goose that lays the golden egg-To destroy the source of the income or profit
- It never rains,but it pours-Misfortunes usually come in a large number
-A rapid succession of event happening,especially misfortunes
- Robbing Peter to pay Paul-To take from one to give to another
- Those who live in glass houses should'nt throw stones-People who are open to criticism should'nt criticise others
- Make hay while the sun shines-Seize the opportunity when it presents itself.
-Take advantage of a favoureable opportunity
- There is no smoke without fire-There is usually some truth in a rumour
- Out of the frying pan into the fire-From a bad situation into a worse one
- One man's meat is another man's poison-Everyone has different tastes,likes and dislikes
- Rome was not built in a day-It takes time to achieve something good.
-Good results cannot be achieved in a short time and patience is required
- Spare the rod and spoil the child-Children need to be disciplined or they will run wild and become uncontrollable
- Time and tide wait for no man-Time never stands still and once gone can never be regained,so one should not waste time
