all lay load on the willing horse all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy all work is noble at the workingman's house, hunger looks in but dares not enter a bad shearer never had a good sickle the best fish are near the bottom the best way to get rid of work is to do it better to be idle than badly employed the busiest men have the most leisure business before pleasure business is to grown men what blocks are to children the cat would eat fish, but would not wet her feet the cobbler should stick to his last every man to his trade everybody's business is nobody's business fools and bairns should never see half-done work a good horse should be seldom spurred grasp all, lose all he that can take rest is greater than he that can take cities he who does not work, neither shall he eat he that would eat the fruit must climb the tree a hired horse never tires if you agree to carry the calf, they'll make you carry the cow if you want a thing well done do it yourself if you would have your business done, go; if not, send in doing we learn it is working that makes a workman Jack of all trades is master in none the labourer is worthy of his hire a man can do no more than he can a man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds many hands make work light the more boys that help, the less work they do never do things by halves never send a boy to do a man's job practice makes perfect Rome was not built in a day a short horse is soon curried there are tricks in every trade they must hunger in winter that will not work in summer two of a trade never agree what is a workman without his tools? what is worth doing at all is worth doing well what may be done at any time will be done at no time when pleasure is the business of life, it ceases to be pleasure a wise man without work is a bee without honey a woman's work is never done work is not the curse, but drudgery is work is the only capital that never misses dividends work is work if you're paid to do it, and it's pleasure if you pay to be allowed to do it the workman is known by his work you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs you never know what you can do till you tryEnglish-Ukrainian dictionary of proverbs > _праця; справа та відпочинок

2 _Бог; релігія
all are not saints that go to the church all things are possible with God the best sermon is a good life the cowl does not make the monk danger past, God is forgotten do your best and leave the rest with God each one holds his religion for the best earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal every man for himself, and God for us all faith will move mountains God heals and the doctor takes the fee God helps those who help themselves God is always on the side of the big battalions God is no respecter of persons God made the country and man made the town God restores health, and the physician gets thanks God sends meat and the devil sends cooks God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb the gods send nuts to those who have no teeth God's clock strikes on time God's in his heaven; all's right with the world God's mill grinds slow but sure the greater the sinner, the greater the saint he that serves God for money will serve the devil for better wages it matters not what religion an ill man is of like priest, like people the Lord chastises His own the lord knows when to clip our wings the Lord who gave can take away man proposes, God disposes a man without a religion is a horse without a bridle many have quarreled about religion that never practiced it the nearer the church, the farther from God preacher, be advised by your own sermons preachers can talk but never teach unless they practice what they preach religion should be a rule of life, not a casual incident of it some people depend too little on the Lord, and some people depend too much on Him those, who know all about heaven seldom get there where God builds a church, the Devil will build a chapel whom Gods would destroy, they first make mad you cannot serve God and Mammon -

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
