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
