| Spanish Proverb - L
Large thongs of another man's leather.Laws go the way kings direct.Laws, like the spider's webs, catch the flies and let the hawk go free.Leave the jest at its best.Let every man mind his own business.Let every sheep hang by it own foot.Let him not complain of being cheated who buys cloth by the pattern.Let him play the instrument who knows how.Let him that has a mouth not say to another, Blow.Let him who does not know you buy you.Let it be a husband, though it be but a log.Let no one say, "Of this water I will not drink."Let no one take a pawn that eats.Let no shovel-beaked bird ever enter your yard.Let that which is lost be for God.Let the dog bark so he don't bite me.Let the miracle be wrought, though it be by the devil.Let the sun shine on me, for I care not for the moon.Let them talk of men, and beg of me.Let them whip me in the market-place, provided it be not known at home.Let there be food in the pigeon-house, and the pigeons will come to it.Let there be no lack of food in the pigeon-house, and the pigeons will come to it.Let there be writing before you pay, and receipt before you write.Let those pater nosters be for your own soul. (Ironical, against swearing.)Let what is lost go for God's sake.Like a collier's sack, bad without and worse within.Like a parakeet that says what he knows but doesn't know what he says.Lip courtesy avails much and costs little.Listeners hear no good of themselves.Little beard, little modesty.Little bird, little nest.Little by little one goes far.Live with wolves, and you learn to howl.Long life to the conqueror.Lose no rights, and commit no extortions.Losers are always in the wrong.Love is like war, begin when you like and leave off when you can.Love one that does not love you, answer one that does not call you, and you will run a fruitless race.Love, grief, and money cannot be kept secret.Lovers think that others have no eyes.Luck comes to those who look after it.Lying and gossiping go hand in hand. |
