| Proverb - O
Oaks may fall when reeds stand the storm.Obedience is much more seen in little things than in great.Obey orders, if you break owners.Of all meat in the world drink goes down the best.Of all tame beasts I hate sluts.Of enough men leave.Of evil grain no good seed can come.Of idleness comes no goodness.Of little meddling cometh great rest.Of saving cometh having.Of sufferance cometh ease.Of thy sorrow be not too sad, of thy joy be not too glad.Of two evils choose the less.Offenders never pardon.Often and little eating makes a man fat.Often to the water, often to the tatter.Oil and truth will get uppermost at last.Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill.Old age is honourable.Old age, though despised, is coveted by all.Old and tough, young and tender.Old bees yield no honey.Old friends and old wine are best.Old habits die hard.Old maids lead apes in hell.Old men and travellers may lie by authority.Old men will die and children soon forget.Old muck-hills will bloom.Old porridge is sooner heated than new made.Old pottage is sooner heated than new made.Old young, and old long.One kindness is the price of another.One law for the rich and another for the poor.One mad action is not enough to prove a man mad.One man beats the bush, another catcheth the bird.One man may steal a horse while another may not look over the hedge.One man's breath's another man's death.One man's fault is another man's lesson.One may better steal a horse than another look over the hedge.One may know by your nose what pottage you love.One may see day at a little hole.One might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb.One must draw the line somewhere.Out of the mouths of babes.Owls to Athens.Oxford for learning, London for wit, Hull for women, and York for a tit. |
