| French Proverb - S
See a pin and let it lie, you'll want a pin before you die.Serve as a serf or fly like a deer.Shame take him that shame thinketh.
[Fr., Honi soit qui mal y pense.]Shoemakers are always the worst shod.Since the wine is drawn it must be drunk.Six things have no business in the world: a fighting priest, a coward knight, a covetous judge, a stinking barber, a soft-hearted mother, and an itchy baker.Skeptics are never deceived.Slander! slander! some of it always sticks.Smoke, floods, and a troublesome wife, are enough to drive a man out of his life.Snarling curs never want sore ears.Snivelling folks always want to wipe other folks' noses.Soft words don't scotch the tongue.Some have bread who have no teeth left.Some have fine eyes and can't see a jot.Some sell and don't deliver.Some think they have done when they are only beginning.Some thinking to avenge their shame increase it.Some who mean only to warm, burn themselves.Soon gained soon squandered.Sorrow is dry.Spare to speak and spare to speed.Spit not in the well, you may have to drink its water.Stolen bread stirs the appetite.Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.Suspicion is the poison of friendship.Swim on and don't trust. |
