| Latin Proverb - E
Each hour injures, the last one slays.Each man has his peculiar hobby.Early ripe, early rotten.Early rising is most conducive to health.Early, not late remedies are the most effective.Eat well, drink in moderation, and sleep sound, in these three good health abound.Education is the poor man's haven.Either a ship or a tuft of feathers.Either Caesar, or nobody.Either never attempt a thing or carry it out.Eloquence avails nothing against the voice of gold.Empty expressions. Bombast.Empty the glass if you would judge of the drink.Emulation begets emulation.Emulation is the whetstone of talent.Emulation is the whetstone of wit.Enjoying the fruits of the labour of others.Enough and to spare.Enough, even to loathing.Enter not at all, or else pass through.Envy is the companion of glory.Envy never has a holiday.Envy no man.Envy waits on boasting.Even a boy can beat a man when bound.Even a fly can show temper.Even a fool sometimes speaks to the purpose.Even a hair hath its shadow.Even a hare will insult a dead lion.Even a mangy camel will carry more that a herd of asses.Even a straw becomes heavy, if you carry it far enough.Even hares insult a dead lion.Even Jupiter himself cannot be in love and wise at the same time.Even the ant hath its anger.Even the beggar envies the beggar.Even the fear of death is dispelled by music.Even the fountains thirst. [Avarice is never satisfied.]Even the gods are conciliated by offerings.Even the rustling of leaves will alarm the hare.Even the smallest spark shines brightly in darkness.Ever receive a present with approbation.Every advantage has its disadvantage.Every great thing only consists of many small particles united.Every innovation startles us more by its novelty than it benefits us by its utility.Every little blade of grass declares the presence of God.Every lover is a slave: he follows captive at his mistress's heels.Every man for himself.Every man has his peculiar habit.Every man judges of others by himself.Every man rejoices in his peculiar study.Every man who can blow a horn is not a huntsman.Every man's sin falls on his own head.Every reproach against an accused man is contemptible.Every sheet has parted. [Every hope has vanished.]Every soil does not bear the same fruit.Every stone conceals a lurking scorpion.Every virtue is but halfway between two vices.Everybody has a name, but not always the same luck with it.Everyone is eloquent in his own cause.Everything beautiful is loveable.Everything has its season.Evils follow each other.Example is better than precept.Excess in anything becomes a vice.Experience purchased by suffering teaches wisdom.Explaining what is unknown by what is still more unknown.
[Lat., Ignotam per ignotius.] |
