| French Proverb - G
Gentleness does more than violence.Get out of that place and let me take it.Give him a foot and he'll take four.Give me the rhubarb and you may take the senna.Give out that you have many friends, and believe that you have but few.Glutton: one who digs his grave with his teeth.Gluttony has killed more than the sword.God alone understands fools.God gives the cold according to the cloth.God helps three sorts of people: fools, children and drunkards.God is on the side of the strongest battalions.God knows who is a good pilgrim.God puts a good root in the little pig's way.God save me from those I trust in.God save you from a man who has but one business.God saves the moon from the wolves.God visits us, but most of the time we are not at home.God's work is soon done.Golden bishop, wooden crosier; wooden bishop, golden crosier.Good advice is as good as an eye in the hand.Good bargains are ruinous.Good blood will never lie.Good comes to better, and better to bad.Good land should not be quitted for a bad landlord.Good morrow spectacles, farewell lasses.Good repute is better than a golden belt.Good watching drives away ill-luck.Good wine makes the horse go.Good wine needs no sign.Good wine needs no vine.Gratitude is the heart's memory.Grease a churl's boots and he'll say you are burning them.Great boaster, little doer.Great boasters, little doers.Great disputing repels truth.Great scholars are not the shrewdest men.Great talkers are not great doers.Great thieves always have their sleeves full of gags.Great wits meet.Greater qualities are needed to bear good fortune than bad. |
