| Proverb - F
Far from court, far from care.Far from eye, far from heart.Far-fetched and dear bought is good for ladies.Far-fetched and dear-bought is good for ladies.Farewell and be hanged; friends must part!Fast bind, fast find.Fat sorrow is better than lean sorrow.Fear may force a man to cast beyond the moon.Fear the Greeks bearing gifts.Feasting is the physician's harvest.February fill dyke, be it black or be it white.February fill dyke.Feed a cold and starve a fever.Feed by measure and defy the physician.Feed sparingly and defy the physician.Fetters of gold are still fetters, and silken cords pinch.Few there are that will endure a true friend.Few words are best.Few words to the wise suffice.Fields have eyes and woods have ears.Fight fire with fire.Find a cruel man and you see a coward.Find words butter no parsnips.Find you without an excuse, and find a hare without a meuse.Finders keepers losers weepers.Finding's keeping.Findings keepings.Fine dressing is a foul house, swept before the windows.Fine feathers make find birds.Fine words butter no parsnips.Fingers were made before forks.Fir trees to Norway.Fire and faggot are but sad reformers.Fire is a good servant but a bad master.Fire that is closest kept burns most of all.Fire, water, and government know nothing of mercy.First catch your hare, then cook it.First catch your hare.First come to the mill, first grind.First creep and then go.First impressions are the most lasting.First love is strongest.First love is strongest.First things first.First think and then speak.First thrive and then wive.Fish and company stink in three days.Fish is cast away that is cast in dry pools.Five hours sleepeth a traveller, seven a scholar, eight a merchant, and eleven every knave.Flatterers haunt not cottages.Flattery sits in the parlour when plain dealing is kicked out of doors.Flattery will get you nowhere.Fleas are not lobsters.Flight towards preferment will be but slow without some golden feathers.Fling him into the Nile, and he will come up with a fish in his mouth.Follow Love and it will flee,
Flee love and it will follow thee.Folly is the product of all countries and ages.Fond of lawsuits, little wealth,
Fond of doctors, little health.Fond pride of dress is sure a very curse;
Ere fancy you consult, consult your purse.Fools and bairns should never see half-done work.Fools and madmen speak the truth.Fools are fain of flittin.Fools ask questions that wise men cannot answer.Fools build house and wise men live in them.Fools cut their fingers, but wise men cut their thumbs.Fools for luck.Fools live poor to die rich.Fools refuse favours.Fools tie knots and wise men loose them.For a good appetite there is no hard bread.For every evil under the sun
There is a remedy or there is none:
If there be one, try and find it;
IF there be none, never mind it.For ill do well,
Then fear not hell.For the last comer the bones.Friends are flowers in the garden of life.Friends are like fiddle-strings; they must not be screwed too tight.Friends are thieves of time.Friends may meet, but mountains never greet.Friends tie their purses with a cobweb thread.Friends tie their purses with a spider's web.Friendships multiply joys and divide griefs.Frightened at bugbears.From clogs to clogs is only three generations.From hell, Hull and Halifax, good Lord deliver us.From our ancestors come our names, but from our virtues our honours.From pillar to post.From shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations.From the beginning to the end of a feast.From the cradle to the tomb,
Not all gladness, not all gloom.From the straws in the air we judge of the wind.From the sublime to the ridiculous is only one step.From the sweetest wine, the tartest vinegar.Frost and fraud both end in foul.Frugality is an estate alone.Fruit ripens not well in the shade.Full cup, steady hand.Full of courtesy, full of craft. |
