| Italian Proverb - L
Large trees give more shade than fruit.Lasses and glasses are always in danger.Laughter makes good blood.Laws were made for rogues.Lawyers' robes are lined with the obstinacy of suitors.Leave no nail unclenched.Lent, which seems so long, is short at other men's tables.Let every fox take care of his own tail.Let every one keep off the flies with his own tail.Let him not be a lover who has not courage.Let him that would be happy for a day, go to the barber; for a week, marry a wife; for a month, buy him a new horse; for a year, build him a new house; for all his lifetime, be an honest man.Let him who is well off stay where he is.Let not you shirt know your secret.Let not your shirt know all your thoughts.Let the injurer not forget.Let us first catch the bear and then sell its skin.Let us have florins and we shall find cousins.Like lips, like lettuce.Like saint like offering.Like well like bucket.Lip courtesy pleases much and costs little.Little children and headaches, great children and heartaches.Live and learn.Longer than a day without bread.Look before you leap.Look for the hog at the oak.Look with suspicion on the flight of an enemy.Love demands faith, and faith firmness.Love is an excuse for its own faults.Love is blind but sees afar.Love is master of all arts.Love is the true price at which love is bought.Love knows not labour.Love levels all inequalities.Love rules his kingdom without a sword.Love rules without law.Love rules without rules. [Amore regge senza legge.]Love your friend with his faults.Love's merchandise is jealousy and broken faith.Love, a cough, and smoke, are hard to hide.Lovers think others are blind.Lovers' purses are tied with cobwebs. |
