PROVERBS |
Eavesdroppers never hear any good of themselves. |
The end justifies the means. |
The end makes all equal. |
An Englishman's house is his castle. |
Enough is as good as a feast. |
Even a worm will turn. |
Even Homer sometimes nods. |
Every cock crows on his own dunghill. |
Every family has a skeleton in the cupboard. |
Every flow must have its ebb. |
Every law has a loophole. |
Every man for himself, and the devil take the hindmost. |
Every man has his price. |
Every man has the defects of his own virtues. |
Every why has a wherefore. |
Everybody's business is nobody's business. |
Everyone to his taste. |
Evil to him who evil thinks. |
Example is better than precept. |
Exchange is no robbery. |
Expectation is better than realization. |
Extremes meet. |
Faint heart never won fair lady. |
The fairest rose is at last withered. |
A fault confessed is half redressed. |
Fine words butter no parsnips. |
First impressions are most lasting. |
First thrive and then wive. |
Fling enough dirt and some will stick. |
Footprints on the sands of time are not made by sitting down. |
Forbidden fruit is sweetest. |
A forced kindness deserves no thanks. |
Forewarned is forearmed. |
Fortune knocks at least once at every man's gate. |
From the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step. |
Full of courtesy, full of craft. |
