| Italian Proverb - E
Eaten bread is soon forgotten.Eating teaches drinking.Eggs have no business dancing with stones.Empty vessels make most noise.Enough is enough, and too much spoils.Entreat the churl and the bargain is broken off.Error is no payment.Even a fly has its anger.Even a fly has its spleen.Even a frog would bite if it had teeth.Even a horse, though he has four feet, stumbles.Even among the apostles there was a Judas.Even foxes are caught.Even old foxes are caught in the snare.Even the dog gets bread by wagging his tail.Even the fool says a wise word sometimes.Even the just has need of help.Even the sea. great as it is, grows calm.Even woods have ears.Every bird thinks its own nest beautiful.Every day has it night.Every ditch is full of after-wit.Every dog is a lion at home.Every door may be shut but death's door.Every fool is wise when he holds his tongue.Every fool wants to give advice.Every fox likes a henroost.Every hill has its valley.Every man has a fool in his sleeve.Every man has a good wife and a bad trade.Every one can navigate in fine weather.Every one finds fault with his own trade.Every one gives himself credit for more brains than he has, and less money.Every one goes with his own sack to the mill.Every one is kin to the rich man.Every one likes justice in another's house, none in his own.Every one praises his own saint.Every one to his own calling, and the ox to the plough.Every potter praises his pot, and most of all the one that is cracked.Every promise is a debt.Every rose has its thorn.Every saint has his festival.Every shop has its trick.Every ten years one man has need of another.Every truth is not good to be told.Every vine must have its stake.Every wind does not shake down the nut.Everybody's friend, nobody's friend.Everyone thinks his own cross is heaviest.Everything is good for something.Everything is good in its season.Everything is of every year.Everything may be borne except good fortune.Everything may be repaired except the neckbone.Everything new is beautiful.Evil be to him who evil thinks. |
