| Italian Proverb - G
Gifts are often losses.Give a clown your finger he'll grasp your fist.Give a dog an ill name, and you may as well hang him.Give the priest drink, for the clerk is thirsty.Give the wise man a hint and leave him to act.Give time time.Give to him that has.Giving is fishing.Glowworms are not lanterns.Gluttony kills more than the sword.Go softly at bad bits of road.Go to the sea if you would fish well.God gives a curst one short horns.God heals and the doctor has the thanks.God keep me from my friends, from my enemies I will keep myself.God preserve you from one who eats without drinking.God save me from him who has but one occupation.God save me from him who studies but one book.God save me from one who does not drink.God save you from a bad neighbour, and from a beginner on the fiddle.God sends cold according to the clothes.God sends nothing but what can be borne.Gold does not buy everything.Good blood never lies.Good company on the road is the shortest cut.Good is good, but better beats it.Good or bad we must all live.Good repute is like the cypress: once cut, it never puts forth leaf again.Good ware was never dear.Good wine makes good blood.Grease to the wheels.Great cry and little wool, as the man said who shaved the sow.Great griefs are mute.Great smoke, little roast.Greater fools than they of Zago, who dunged the steeple to make it grow. |
