| Proverb - E
Each bird loves to hear himself sing.Each cross hath its inscription.Each snowflake in an avalanche pleads its innocence.Eagles don't catch flies.Early master, soon knave.Ease and honour are seldom bed-fellows.Ease and success are fellows.East, west, home's best.Easy does it.Easy to keep the castle that was never besieged.Eat at pleasure, drink by measure.Eat the wind and swallow bitterness.Eat to live, not live to eat.Eaten bread is forgotten.Eating and drinking
Shouldn't keep us from thinking.Education begins in a gentleman, conversation completes him.Eels become accustomed to skinning.Either a feast or a fast.Either a man or a mouse.Either by might or by sleight.Either you sink or you swim.Empty pitchers ring loudest.Empty sacks will never stand upright.Enchantments to Egypt.England is the paradise of women, the hell of horses, and the purgatory of servants.England's difficulty is Ireland's opportunity.Enough's as good as a feast.Envy never enriched any man.Envy shoots at others and wounds herself.Envy--the rottenness of the bones.Even a blind pig finds an acorn every once in awhile.Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes.Even a child may beat a man that's bound.Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.Even a worm will turn.Even an ass will not fall twice in the same quicksand.Even doubtful accusations leave a stain behind them.Even light takes a decade to travel ten light-years.Even reckoning makes long friends.Even sugar itself may spoil a good dish.Even too much praise is a burden.Evening red and morning grey help the traveler on his way; evening grey and morning red bring down rain upon his head.Ever drunk, ever dry.Ever sick of the slothful guise,
Loth to bed and loth to rise.Every bean hath its black.Every cloud has a silver lining.Every cock crows best on his own dunghill.Every cock is proud on his own dung hill.Every cock will crow upon his own dunghill.Every day gives you another chance.Every day hath its night, every weal its woe.Every day in thy life is a leaf in thy history.Every ditch is full of your after-wits.Every dog is allowed one bite.Every elm has its man.Every fool can find faults that a great many wise men can't remedy.Every herring must hang by its own gill.Every horse thinks his own pack heaviest.Every Jack has his Jill.Every land has its own law.Every light hath its shadow.Every man at forty is a fool or a physician.Every man can rule a shrew but he who has her.Every man for himself, and the Devil take the hindmost.Every man has his faults.Every man hath a fool in his sleeve.Every man hath his hobby-horse.Every man is a fool sometimes, and none at all times.Every man is best known to himself.Every man must eat a peck of dirt before he dies.Every man must go to the mill with his own sack.Every man thinks his own geese swans.Every may-be hath a may-be not.Every miller draws the water to his own mill.Every miller draws water to his own mill.Every monkey will have his gambols.Every one basteth the fat hog, while the lean one burneth.Every one can keep house better than her mother till she trieth.Every one is glad to see a knave caught in his own trap.Every one to his liking.Every one to his taste, as the old woman said when she kissed her cow.Every one's faults are not written in their foreheads.Every picture tells a story.Every reed will not make a pipe.Every shoe fits not every foot.Every suitor is not a heart breaker.Every time history repeats itself the price goes up.Every time the sheep bleats it loseth a mouthful.Every time you speak, your mind is on parade.Every white hath its black, and every sweet its sour.Everybody loves a lord.Everyone is given the key to the gates of Heaven. The same key opens the gates of Hell.Everyone rakes the fire under his own pot.Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him, and then choose that way with all his strength.Everyone speaks well of the bridge which carries him over.Everyone stretches his legs according to the length of his coverlet.Everything has an end.Everything hath an end, and a pudding hath two.Everything is the worse for wearing.Evil communications corrupt good manners.Evil does are evil dreaders.Evil gotten, evil spent.Evil to him that evil thinks.Excess of delight palls the appetite.Excess of obligations may lose a friend.Experience is the father of wisdom.Experience is the mistress of fools.Experience keeps a dear school.Experience without learning is better than learning without experience. |
