| Spanish Proverb - S
Seat yourself in your place and you will not be made to quit it.See how he has risen from a mayor to a hangman.See that you tie so that you can untie.See, hear, and hold your tongue.Sell publicly and buy privately.Sense comes with age.Serve a lord and you'll know what is grief.Set a peasant on horseback, and he forgets both God and man.She is fond of greens who kisses the gardener.She is good and honoured who is dead and buried.She is good who is close to the fire and does not burn.She who loves an ugly man thinks him handsome.Shoemakers go to mass and pray that sheep may die.Short hose must have long points.Shut your door, and you will make your neighbour a good woman.Silence and look out, we shall catch both hen and chicks.Silent water is dangerous water.Silly sheep, where one goes, all go.Since I wronged you, I have never liked you.Since we cannot get what we like, let us like what we can get.Since we have loaves let us not look for cakes.Since you have scolding me, I have counted a hundred and twenty holes in that nutmeg grater.Skilled hands eat trouts.Sleep is the best cure for waking troubles.Sleep over it, and you will come to a resolution.Smoke, a dripping roof, and a scolding wife, are enough to drive a man out of his life.So money gets money.So you tell me there are wolves on the mountain, and foxes in the valley.Some day Peter will command as much as his master.Some have the fame, and other card the wool.Sour wine, old bacon, and rye bread keep a house rich.Sow corn in clay, and plant vines in sand.Stealing would be a nice thing, if thieves were hanged by the girdle.Such awkward things will happen as going into the great square and coming back without ears.Sugared words generally prove bitter. |
