| Spanish Proverb - N
Needle and thread are half clothing.Neither a good friar for friend, nor a bad one for enemy.Neither handsome enough to kill, nor ugly enough to frighten.Neither serve one who has been a servant, nor beg of one who has been a beggar.Neither sign a paper without reading it, nor drink water without seeing it.Never advise a man to go to the wars, or to marry.Never advise anyone to go to war or to marry.Never ask of him who has, but of him you know wishes you well.Never put your thumbs between two grinders.Never spread your corn to dry before the door of a saintly man.New loves drive out the old.New trappings to an old mule.No flies light on a boiling pot.No fly gets into a shut mouth.No Jew a fool; no hare lazy.No king was ever a traitor, or pope excommunicated.No man is quick enough to enjoy life to the full.No need to seek shelter for an old ox.No one would be an innkeeper but for money.No relation is poor.No revenge is more honourable than the one not taken.No woman is ugly when she is dressed.No wonder if he breaks his head who stumbles twice over one stone.Nobody sows a thing that will not sell.Nothing is lost on a journey by stopping to pray or to feed your horse.Now that I have an ewe and a lamb, every one says to me: Good morrow, Peter.Nurse, you are mistress whilst the child sucks, and after that nothing. |
