| French Proverb - B
Bad news has wings.Bad ware is never cheap.Bad watch often feeds the wolf.Be a horse ever so well shod, he may slip.Be truly what thou wouldst be thought to be.Beauty, unaccompanied by virtue, is as a flower without perfume.Bees do not become hornets.Believe that, and drink some water (to wash it down.)Belles are not for the beaux.Bells call to church but do not enter.Better a good dinner than a fine coat.Better a slip of the foot than of the tongue.Better be a coward than foolhardy.Better be mad with all the world than wise alone.Better be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion.Better lose the wool than the sheep.Better to be envied than pitied.Better to have a friend on the road than gold or silver in your purse.Better to stumble once than be always tottering.Better walk before a hen than behind an ox.Between promising and giving a man should marry his daughter.Between the hand and the mouth the soup is often spilt.Beware of a reconciled enemy.Beware the anger of the dove.
[Fr., Craignez la colere de la colombe.]Borrows must not be choosers.But for all that the honest man has not got his purse.By beating love decays.By candle-light a goat looks like a lady.By dint of going wrong all will come right.By telling our woes we often assuage them.By working in the smithy one becomes a smith. |
