English Proverbs

[kalvlal2011]

A bad Workman Blames His Tools


A bird in the hand worth ten in the bush


A burnt child dreads fire


A cat has nine lives


A cock crows on his own dunghill


A drowning man will clutch a straw


a fox is not taken twice in the same snare


A friend in need is a friend indeed


A guilty conscience needs no accuser


A hungry man is an angry man




A jack-of-all trades master of none

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing


A living dog is better than a dead lion


A man can do no more than he can


A man can not serve two masters

A man is known by the company he keeps


A man's house is his castle


A penny saved is a penny gained

A prophet is not without an honor save in his own country


A secret between more than two is not secret

A soft answer turneth a way wrath
