gribbon Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I noticed the thread someone posted in "The Lounge" regarding proverbs....I can't post there, for whatever reason, but I'll bring the topic up here, so everyone can discuss it...god, you guys really do need to start reading some interesting literature! :D Here are a few of my favourites: A rolling stone gathers no moss Thou should never let the sun set on your anger The apple never falls far from the tree A reed which bows to the winds of change survives the strom, whereas mighty oaks will fall Set the beggar on a horseback and he'll ride to the devil - late 16th century When spider webs unite they can knot up a lion- Ethiopian proverb The road to hell is paved with good intentions - late 16th century An idle mind is the devils workshop - Flattery, like perfume, should be sniffed, not swallowed thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom - Chinese proverb (suitable for you, eh Tormod ;) ) Experience is a comb which nature gives to men when they are bald - Chinese proverb You are like a tree, giving your shade to the outside- Saudi Arabian proverb When you have spoken the word, it reigns over you. When it is unspoken you reign over it - Saudi proverb Silence is the best answer to the stupid. The fool has his answer on the tip of his tongue - Saudi proverb Marriage is like a besieged castle; those who are on the outside wish to get in; and those who are on the inside wish to get out - Saudi proverb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
