| Latin Proverb - M
Mad drunkenness discloses every secret.Make a virtue of necessity. [Claim credit for compulsory rectitude.]Make haste slowly.Make too much haste and pay the penalty.Make your experiment on a worthless subject.Man and woman, fire and chaff.Man is himself the author of every sorrow he endures.Man is to man a wolf, man is to man a demon.Man's life is a sojourn in a strange land.Many asses have only two legs.Many can drive an ox; few can plough.Many can drive oxen, few can plough.Many fall by the sword, but more from gluttony.Many promises impair confidence.Many will hate you if you love yourself.Many words, little credit.Married life without children is as the day deprived of the sun's rays.Marry a person in your own rank in life.Marry in May, you'll rue it for aye.Marry with your match.Men are bound by words, bulls' horns by ropes.Men cut large thongs of other men's leather.Men in office must work hard.Men learn oratory by practice. [Practice in speaking makes us eloquent.]Men see more of the business of others than of their own.Men who have no religion, no honour.Men worship the rising, not the setting sun.Mere intentions are not to be esteemed as actions.Merit consists in action.Merit is often belied by the countenance.Midway between the earth and the starry Olympus. [In a quandary. In a fix.]Mirth must be indulged in to prepare the mind for more serious matters.Misfortunes make friends.Misfortunes make happiness more sweet when it comes.Mistakes are to be pardoned.Moderate measures succeed best.Money is the sinews of war.Money, like a queen, gives rank and beauty.Money, like a queen, gives rank and beauty.More ancient than chaos and the reign of Saturn.More blind than the cast-off skin of a serpent.More changeable than Proteus.More changeable than the chameleon.More chaste than vestal's couch.More like than egg to egg.More naked than a post.More naked than an egg.More naked than the cast-off skin of a serpent.More noisy than laurel when burning.More persuasive than the Syrens.More prickly than a sea urchin.More silent than a statue.Morn with her rosy locks dispels the shades of night, and the sun puts to flight the stars, lighting up the world.Morning dreams come true.Most bitter are the quarrels of brothers.Mountains never unite. [Haughty people rarely fraternize.]Much coin, much care.Mules help to scratch each other. [The bad commend each other.]Music induces more madness in many than wine.Music is the best cure for a sorrowing mind.Music is the handmaid of divinity.Music provokes love.My better half.My inclination first leads me in one direction, then in the opposite. |
