Proverbs

I have just finished reading a book which deals specifically with proverbs. Proverbs have something to do with customs, culture, principles or beliefs and sometimes they just fit like a glove. 

Here is my personal list with the top 20. Have fun! :oP

1. Charity begins at home.

2. A word to the wise is enough.

3. Never look a gift horse in the mouth.

4. Curiosity killed the cat.

5. Haste makes waste (= A pressa é inimiga da perfeição).

6. Finders keepers, losers weepers (= Achado não é roubado).

7. Money does not grow on trees.

8. Looks are deceiving. 

9. Bad news travels fast.

10. Actions speak louder than words.

11. Barking dogs seldom bite.

12. Our last garment is made without pockets (= Da vida nada se leva).

13. Hell is paved with good intentions.

14. It takes two to make a quarrel.

15. The best advice is found on the pillow.

16. No news is good news.

17. Better safe than sorry.

18. Time will tell.

19. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (= Quem ama o feio, bonito lhe parece) 

And now, last but not least...

20. Where there is a will, there is a way. My favorite!!! :o)
