| Italian Proverb - F
Fair words and rotten apples.Far from the eyes, far from the heart.Fat head, less brains.Feather by feather the goose is plucked.Fire drives the wasp out of its nest.Fire is not quenched with fire.Flies don't light on a boiling pot.Flies flock to the lean horse.For a wife and a horse go to your neighbour.For an honest man half his wits are enough; the whole is too little for a knave.For extreme ills extreme remedies.For the buyer a hundred eyes are too few, for the seller one is enough.For the flying enemy a golden bridge.Friends in need are friends indeed.Friendship should be unpicked, not rent.Friendships are cheap when they can be brought by doffing the hat.From a bad paymaster take straw--i.e. any trifle.From saying to doing is a long way.From snow whether cooked or pounded you will get nothing but water.From still water God keep me; from running water I will keep myself.From the same flower the bee extracts honey and the wasp gall.From those I trust God guard me, from those I mistrust I will guard myself. |
