| German Proverb - E
Early marriage, long love.Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.Early to rise and late to bed, lifts again the debtor's head.Eating and drinking holds body and soul together.Either fight not with priests or beat them to death.Empty casks make the most sound.Enough is better than a sackful.Entreat him in jackass fashion; if he won't carry the sack, give him a whack.Envy eats nothing but its own heart.Envy envies itself.Erring is not cheating.Even a hair casts its shadow.Even the best hack stumbles once.Even the lion must defend himself against the flies.Ever one hair, only one, and the man is bald at last.Every beginning is hard, said the thief, when he began by stealing an anvil.Every clown can find fault, though it would puzzle him to do better.Every fool is different.Every hare may pluck the dead lion's mane.Every labourer is worthy of his hire.Every light is not the sun.Every man for himself, and God for us all.Every man is dearest to himself.Every man is the best interpreter of his own words.Every man rides his own hobby.Every mother's child is handsome.Every one counts for as much as he has.Every one has his master.Every one is emperor on his own ground.Every one is wise after the event.Every one must pay his debt to nature.Every priestling conceals a popeling.Every woman would rather be handsome than good.Everybody is the architect oh is own fortune.Everybody knows best where his own shoe pinches.Everybody knows good counsel except him who has need of it.Everybody must wear out one pair of fool's shoes, if he wear no more.Everybody thinks his own cuckoo sings better than another's nightingale.Everybody's busy is nobody's business.Everybody's companion is nobody's friend.Everybody's friend, everybody's fool.Everything would be well were there not a "but."Except for the night, we could never know the stars.Exchange is no robbery. |
