| French Proverb - N
Naught must disturb a man of worth at dinner.Never challenge a fool to do wrong.Never did capon love a hen.Never limp before the lame.Never put your finger between the tree and the bark.Never say, Fountain, I will not drink of thy water.Never sell the bearskin till you have killed the bear.New lords, new laws.Night has no friend.No day so long but has its evening.No feast like a miser's.No fire without smoke.No jesting with edged tools.No living man all things can.No lock avails against a hatchet.No man is a hero in the eyes of his valet.No man is a prophet in his own country.No man understands knavery better than the abbot who has been a monk.No one is expected to achieve the impossible.No one is so generous as he who has nothing to give.No one is so liberal as he who has nothing to give.No one will get a bargain he does not ask for.No purchase like a gift.No sauce like appetite.No wind can do him good who steers for no port.Nobility imposes obligations.None so busy as those who do nothing.Nothing is had for nothing.Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.Nothing is more contagious than a bad example.Nothing is more like an honest man than a rogue.Nothing is more ridiculous or troublesome than mere ceremony.Nothing is so burdensome as a secret.Nothing is so burthensome as a secret.Nothing is so liberally given as advice.Nothing so bold as a miller's shirt (because it takes a thief by the throat every morning).Nurture is above nature. |
