generous be just to all, but trust not all the best things come in small packages the best way to resist temptation is to give in to it better alone than in bad company better an empty house than a bad tenant better be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion better ride an ass that carries me than a horse that throws me better to beg than to steal, but better to work than to beg better a tooth out than always aching between two stools one goes to the ground a bird may be known by its flight a bird never flew on one wing a bit in the morning is better than nothing all day a bleating sheep

extremes meet facts are stubborn things familiarity breeds contempt fast bind, fast find fields have eyes, and woods have ears fight fire with fire figure on the worst but hope for the best fingers were made before forks the fire which lights us at a distance will burn us when near the first shall be last and the last, first follow your own star forbearance is no acquittance the fox knows much, but more he that catches him from the day you were born till you ride in a hearse, there's nothing so bad but it might have been worse from the sweetest wine, the tartest vinegar fruit is golden in the morning, silver at noon, and lead at night gambling is the son of avarice and the father of despair the game is not worth the candles a gentleman never makes any noise the gift bringer always finds an open door the giver makes the gift precious a good horse cannot be of a bad colour a good tale is none the worse for being twice told good riddance to bad rubbish the greatest right in the

Greeks even when bringing gifts if each would sweep before his own door, we should have a clean city if the cap fits, wear it if the mountain will not come to Mohammed, Mohammed must go to the

to stop playing it's a small world it takes all sorts to make a world it takes a thief to catch a thief jealousy is a green-eyed monster jealousy is a proof of self-love keep a dress seven years and it will come back into style keep no more cats than will catch mice kindle not a fire that you cannot extinguish kissing goes by favor jam tomorrow and jam yesterday, but never jam today a joy that's shared is a joy made double justice is blind lay not the load on the lame horse learn to creep before you leap let the cock crow or not, the day will come the longest road is sometimes the shortest way home lookers-on see most of the game man does not live by bread alone many are called but few are chosen many go out for wool and come home shorn many stumble at a straw and leap over a block men cease to interest us when we find their limitations a misty morn may have a fine day the mob has many heads but no brains the moon is not seen when the sun shines the more the merrier mountain has brought forth a mouse much water runs by the mill that the miller knows not of name not a halter in his house that hanged himself the nearer the bone, the sweeter the meat never be the first by whom

make a bargain with the devil on a dark day never quarrel with your bread and butter never tell tales out of school a nod's as good as a wink to a blind horse no joy without alloy no man is a hero to his valet no mud can soil us but the mud we throw no names, no pack-drill no news good news no one but the wearer knows where the shoe pinches none is so blind as they who will not see none of us is perfect nothing is certain but the unforeseen nothing is easy to the unwilling nothing is so good but it might have been better nothing is stolen without hands nothing new under the sun nothing seems

not know how the other half lives one hand washes the other one man's meat is another man's poison one picture is worth ten thousand words one volunteer is worth two pressed men one whip is good

reason you buy land, you buy stones; you buy meat, you buy bones you can take a horse to the water, but you cannot make him drink you can tell the day by the morning you cannot lose what you never had you cannot touch pitch and not be defiled you can't put new wine in old bottles you can't walk and look at the stars if you have a stone in your shoe your looking glass will tell you what none of your

all are good lasses, but whence come the bad wives? all women look the same after the sun goes down any woman can keep a secret, but she generally needs one other woman to help her better the devil's than a woman's slave a cat has nine lives; a woman has nine cat's lives a diamond daughter turns to glass as a wife everybody's sweetheart is nobody's wife the fewer the women, the less the trouble the fingers of a housewife do more than a yoke of oxen the first wife is matrimony; the second, company; the third, heresy the grey mare is the better horse the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world handle with care women and glass hanging and wiving goes by destiny happy is the bride that the sun shines on he that has not got a wife is not yet a complete man he who has a fair wife needs more than two eyes hell hath no fury like a woman scorned if it is a secret, don't tell it to a woman it is harder to marry a daughter well than to bring her up well it is a woman's privilege to change her mind it is as great pity to see a woman weep as to see a goose go barefoot ladies don't smoke long hair and short wit the longest five years in a woman's life is between twenty-nine and thirty never choose your woman or your linen by candlelight never praise your wife until you have been married ten years never quarrel with a woman no house was ever big enough for two women no woman is ugly if she is well dressed one tongue is enough for two women the only secret a woman can keep is her age praise from a wife is praise indeed the real housewife is at once a slave and a lady she who is a beauty is half-married she who loves the looking glass hates the saucepan silence is a woman's best garment slander expires at a good woman's door tell a woman and you tell the world ten measures of talk were sent down from heaven, and women took nine there is no fury like a woman's fury there is nothing better than a good woman and nothing worse than a bad one there is one good wife in the country, and every man thinks he has her there's hardly a strife in which a woman has not been a prime mover ugliness is the guardian of women the ugliest woman can look in the mirror and think she is beautiful an undutiful daughter will prove an unmanageable wife when a girl whistles, the angels cry wherever there is a woman, there is gossip a whistling woman and a crowing hen are neither fit for God nor men winter weather and women's thoughts change often a wise woman never outsmarts her husband a woman, a cat, and a chimney should never leave the house a woman fights with her tongue a woman knows a bit more than Satan a woman laughs when she can but cries whenever she wishes the woman who obeys her husband rules him a woman's hair is her crowning glory a woman's hair is long, but her tongue is longer a woman's place is in the home a woman's tongue is one that will never wear out a woman's tongue is the only sharp-edged tool that grows keener with constant use women are necessary evils a woman's work is never done women are strong when they arm themselves with their weaknesses women forgive injuries, but never forget slights women would be more charming if one could fall into their arms without falling into their hands a worthy woman is the crown of her husband -

after dinner sit a while, after supper walk a mile always tell your doctor and your lawyer the truth an apple a day keeps the doctor away the best doctors are Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet, and Dr. Merryman beware of the young doctor and the old barber change of scenery makes for health cheerfulness is the principal ingredient in health the cleverest doctor cannot save himself death defies the doctor or employs him to do its job diet cures more than doctor diseases are the tax of pleasures a doctor eases your pain; God cures it doctors' faults are covered with earth, and rich men's with money doctors make the worst patients early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise eat few suppers and you'll need few medicines feed a cold and starve a fever folks spend their health to acquire wealth and later spend their wealth in an effort to regain their health fond of lawsuits, little wealth; fond of doctors, little health God restores health, and the physician gets thanks good health and good sense are two of life's greatest blessings good health is above wealth a good surgeon must have an eagle's eye, a lion's heart and a lady's hand he is a fool that makes his doctor his heir he's the best physician that knows the vvorthlessness of most medicines he who sleeps late has short days health and money go far health is not valued till sickness comes health is the first muse health is worth more than learning if you lack health you lack everything it is part of the cure to wish to be cured let your midday sleep be short or none at all a man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools many individuals shorten their days by lengthening their nights one hour's sleep before midnight is worth two after physician, heal thyself a physician is a man who pours drugs of which he knows little into a body of which he knows less physicians kill more than they cure pursue in health that conduct which you promise in sickness the sickness of the body may prove the health of the mind six hour's sleep for a man, seven for a woman, and eight for a fool a sound mind in a sound body suppers kill more than the greatest doctors can cure temperance is the best medicine without measure medicine will become poison you are what you eat you dig your grave with your own fork a young physician should have three graveyardsEnglish-Ukrainian dictionary of proverbs > _здоров'я; медицина

better a glorious death than a shameful life the dead are always wrong dead men tell no tales death defies the doctor or employs him to do its job death is a black camel which kneels at every man's gate death is the great leveller death keeps no calendar death pays all debts death takes no denial death to the wolf is life to the lamb dying is as natural as living dying men speak true the fear of death is more to be dreaded than death itself the first breath is the beginning of death the good die young if you fear death, you're already dead a man can die but once men are mortal men fear death as children do going in the dark never speak ill of the dead nothing is certain but death and taxes shrouds have no pockets six feet of earth makes all men equal there is nothing more certain than death and nothing more uncertain than the hour of death there is a remedy for all things but death whom the gods love die young -
