| Latin Proverb - S
See that in avoiding cinders you step not on burning coals.Seek a wife in your own sphere.Seek not the luxuries of life lest you reap sorrow.Seek not the rose which is once lost.Self praise is odious.Self-love is a mote in every man's eye.Self-praise is no recommendation.Servants differ as their masters.She is not a modest woman whom common report condemns.Shirk work and you will want bread.Short cuts are long ways round.Showy clothes attract most.Sickness shows us what we are.Silence is the greatest ornament in a woman.Sincerity gives wings to power.Sing not of triumph before the victory.Skill will enable us to succeed in that which sheer force could not accomplish.Sleep is all important.Sleep not in time of peril.Small favours conciliate, but great gifts make enemies.Small sorrows speak; great ones are silent.Small things have their own peculiar charm.Smoother than oil.So ends all earthly glory.So many men, so many opinions.
[Lat., Quot homines, tot sententiae.]So many servants, so many enemies.So we have the chink, we will bear with the stink.Soft speeches injure not the mouth of the speaker.Some small spark may yet by chance lie hidden.Some sow, others read.Some things are better praised by silence than by remark.Sooner could you hide an elephant under your armpit.Sooner shall earth mount to heaven.Sooner will a beetle make honey.Sooner will the tamarisk bear apples.Sooner will the wolf take the sheep for a wife.Sorrow brings on premature old age.Sorrow comes unsent for.Sorrow dwells on the confines of pleasure.Sorrow follows pleasure.Sorrows come uninvited.Speak not against the dead.Speak well of the dead.Speaking, though speechless, it exercises dominion over the mind. [The power of music.]Speech both conceals and reveals the thoughts of men.Spendthrifts are always of necessity greedy and covetous.Spring succeeds to winter.Stand away from a horse's heels.Stark naked.Success leads to insolence.Suddenly as a storm.Summer will not last for ever.Swifter than a hawk. |
