| Spanish Proverb - W
Walk till the blood appears on the cheek, but not the sweat on the brow.Walk until the blood appears on the cheek, but not the sweat on the brow.War with all the world, and peace with England.Water for oxen, wine for kings.We are as the king, only not as rich.We are both carriers, and shall meet on the road.We are not roasting, and already we are basting.We are not yet roasting, and already we make sops in the pan.We do not know what is good until we have lost it.We have no son, and yet are giving him a name.We have not yet saddled, and are already mounted.What I see with my eyes I can guess with my fingers.What is another's always pines for its master.What is in use, wants no excuse.What much is worth comes from the earth.What my neighbour eats does my stomach no good.What one does, one becomes.What the abbot of Bamba cannot eat he gives away for the good of his soul.What's everybody's business is nobody's business.Whatever way you take there is a league of bad road.When fire and water are at war, it is the fire that loses.When one door shuts, a hundred open.When one door shuts, another opens.When one wolf eats another, thee is nothing to eat in the wood.When our daughter is married sons-in-law are plenty.When poor, liberal; when rich, stingy.When the bee sucks, it makes honey, when the spider, poison.Where force prevails, right perishes.Where friars abound keep your eyes open.Where God has his church the Devil will have his chapel.Where luck is wanting, diligence is useless.Where one door is shut another opens.Where there is love, there is pain.Whilst the nurse suckles, we love her; when she is of no further use, she is forgotten.White hands are no offence.Who has no bread to spare should not keep a dog.Who has time yet waits for time, comes to a time of repentance.Who is always prying into other men's affairs, leads a dangerous life.Who is to bell the cat?Who is to carry the cat to the water?Who is your enemy? A man of your own trade.Wit without discretion is a sword in the hand of a fool.With a little wrong a man comes by his right.With a staircase before you, you look for a rope to go down by.With bread and wine you can walk your road.With lightning and with love, the clothes sound, the heart burned.With money you would not know yourself, without money nobody would know you.Wounds from the knife are healed, but not those from the tongue.Wounds heal, but not ill words.Wounds pain most when grown cool. |
