| Latin Proverb - C
Caesar's wife must be above suspicion.Calumniate strongly and some of it will stick.Candour breeds hatred.Carthage must be destroyed! [Our greatest enemy must be subdued.]Catch the opportunity.Cautious in small matters, careless in great.Caveat emptor.
[Lat., Let the buyer beware.]Cease your jests, there is no joke in being ill-natured.Cheese it is a peevish elf,
It digests all things but itself.Choose a wife from among your equals.Clodius impeaches the adulterers!Club law.Colewort twice cooked.Compete not with a friend.Concerning the dead nothing but good.
[Lat., De mortuis nil nisi bonum.]Confound those who have anticipated us in what we would have said!Conscience betrays guilt.Conscience is as a thousand witnesses.Consenting against his inclination.Consider how long the winter will last.Consideration should be shown to a novice.Constant dripping wears away the rock.Contrasts mutually set off each other.Conversation ministers to a mind diseased.Conviviality reveals secrets.Correct a wise man, and he will be grateful; correct a fool, and he will not only give a deaf ear, but send you off with a flea in
your ear.Corruption of best is worst.
[Lat., Corruptio optimi pessima.]Court not companionship with tigers.Courts grant not their favours as men are good and deserving.Covet not the property of others.Cowards win no laurels.Coyly resisting.Crocodile's tears. [Hypocrisy.]Cultivate not a barren soil. |
