| Latin Proverb - F
Far from Jupiter, far from his thunder.Fashion is more powerful than any tyrant.Fate leads the willing but drives the stubborn.Favours should never be forced upon others against their will.Fear increasing age, for it does not come without companions.Fear not a jest. If one throws salt at you, you will not be harmed unless you have sore places.Fear not a jest. If one throws salt at you, you will not be harmed unless you have sore places.Fearing his own shadow.Feigned love is worse than hatred.Fetters of gold.Fight with silver spears, and you will overcome everything.Figs he calls figs, a spade a spade. [Said of a man who speaks with sincerity and means what he says.]Fill your garners, harvest lasts not for ever.Fire will not put out fire. Anger is not appeased by anger.Fire, the sea, and woman; these are three ills.Flies, dogs. and mimics are the first to rush to the dish.Fling dirt enough, and some will stick.For a paltry gift, little thanks.For God and our country.For our altars and our hearths.For the king, the laws and the people.Friends become foes, and foes are reconciled.Friends have all things in common.Friendship lasts as long as the pot boils.From a pure source pure water comes.From a simple spark there will often be produced a great conflagration.From excess of caution.From home itself.From one you may judge of the whole.From repose to tumult.From small things a great heap is made.From smoke to flame.From the egg to the apple.From the miseries of others he fears for his own position.From the old ox the young one learns to plough.From trifling causes great results arise.From what has taken place we infer what is about to happen.Frugality is a great revenue.Full feasting breeds ferocity. |
