54------Love makes the world go around

Love is the driving force in all of life. Love makes life worth living. If you understand love,you understand everything about life.

55-----Marry in haste and repent at leisure

Now it means, "Do not commit yourself to anyone you will be sorry." or it may mean, "Live with a person for a while before marrying him or her." It may also apply to any long-term partnership, such as a joint business venture.

56------Talk is cheap

Talking is not doing, It is easy to talk about a plan, but this gets little respect untill one takes a risk and puts the plan into action.

57-----Love is blind

When people are in love, they do not see each other's faults.

58-----Time is money

Time can be converted to money, that is, wages are often paid per hour of work. Managers want employees to do things quickly because "time is money." If employees waste time, the company loses money.

59-----If you're so smart, why ain't you rich

This question implies that intelligence, like time, can be converted into money. It is used to cut down an ordinary person (not a rich one) who has expressed an opinion as if it is the final word on the subject.

60-----Beggars can't be choosers

Beggars have to accept whatever they get. A poor person has very few choices in life. This harsh reply may be used if people complain about the size or quality of a gift.

61-----The love of money is the root of all evil

Greed will lead a person into many other evils such as cheating, oppression and violence. (one also hears, money is the root of all evil, which places the blame more on money than on greed.)

62-----A fool and his money are soon parted

Folly will always show up in the way a fool handles money. Wise people are the ones smart enough to guard money once they have it.

63-----It isn't whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game

Playing well and fairly is more important than succeeding. This saying is sometimes used to console someone who has lost a game. The ideas is that in spite of losing, one may still feel like a success if one has played as well as possible.

64-----Money can't buy happiness

There are some things money just can't buy. This reminds people that money is not an ultimate value although it often is treated as one. The saying may be used as a comment when a wealthy but lonely and wretched person commits suicide.

65-----Nice guys finish last

Success is valued more highly than kindness and politeness. If unkindness and impoliteness contribute to one's success, they are sometimes excused as "toughness" or "what it takes." This is more often applied to men than woman.

66-----The one who dies with the most toys wins

This recent, cynical saying makes fun of three common American desires-- competing, accumulating property, and having fun.

67-----Just do it

This proverb is actually a recently invented advertising slogan for the Nike Shoe company. It may also be the best three-word summary of American cultural values. It means, "quit being indecisive, Don't bother consulting a lot of people. Don't waste much times on planning. Just do it and do it now.

68-----You only go around once in life

Enjoy life, do what you want to do, experience everything you can.

70-----The best defense is a good offense

Be pro-active and goal-oriented, not timid or conservative. Aim to conquer, not merely to protect yourself.

71-----The road to hell is paved with good intentions

Like talking, intending is not doing. Actions matter far more than intentions. Actions determine where a person ends up.

72-----Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today

Doing is better than waiting. If you wait, you might lose your opportunity

73-----Action speak louder than words

To know people's hearts, pay more attention to what they do than what they say.

74-----Idle hands are the devil's workshop

When people have nothing constructive to do, they get into mischief. The child who is bored may pick up a crayon and color on the wall, something that would not happen if the child were happily occupied in some other activity.

75-----You've got to take the bull by the horns

Grab directly and fearlessly for the toughnest part of a problem. Don't look for an easy way out.

76-----Money doesn't grow on trees

You have to work for things. Success does not come on its own.

77-----Easy come, easy go

If you have received something without working for it, it may soon be gone. You will not be as careful with it as you will be with something you earned.

78-----Too many cooks spoil the broth

Individual action or action by the smallest group possible is better than consulting a lot of people. Too much consultation will waste time and create problems.

79-----Stand on your own two feet

Grow up; act like an adult. Don't ask me to do something for you. This may be said to a young or immature person who depends too much on others. It is like a cow kicking a grown calf that wants to suckle.

80------If you want something done right, do it yourself

This discourages people from trusting anyone except themselves. It maybe said to someone who ask another person to do a job for him/her and then complains about it was done.

81------Necessity is the mother of invention

When a person really needs something, he or she figures out some new way to get it. This creative initiative to change one's situation is considered much better than giving up and accepting things as they are.

82------First come, first served.

This saying is used when there is a limited supply of something such as tickets to an event or food at a picnic. The idea is that no matter what your status, if you want some of what is being given away or sold, you must present yourself in person and in good time.

83-----No pain no gain

one must put forth an effort in order to succeed. This saying comes from physical fitness instructors. They say that if you do not exercise hard enough to make your muscles hurt, the exercise is not doing you much good.

84-----Give him an inch and he'll take a mile

Be careful of presumptuous people who take more initiative than they should. If you do someone a small favor or delegate a little permission or a little power, he or she may take advantage of you.

85-----If it isn't broke, don't fix it

Do not bother trying to improve something if it is already working satisfactorily. That is a waste of time and you run the risk of breaking the thing while you are trying to improve it.

86-----There is no harm in trying

A person expects to be respected for making an effort even if it does not succeed.

87-----The cure is worse than the disease

While trying to solve one problem, we create an even bigger problem. We would have been better off if we had done nothing.

88-----Count to ten before you lose your temper

Do not instantly let your feelings control your actions. Slow down. Think before you react.

89-----All things come to him who waits

Sometimes patience is better than initiative.

90-----There is many a slip between the cup and the lip

This refers to a plan that has gone wrong. When one is drinking from a cup, one intends to get all the drink into the mouth, but this does not always happen. The plan is good but it can still fail.

91-----Boys will be boys

People will act according to their nature, including some mischief. This is sometimes used to describe irresponsible but not too seriously wrong behavior by men. In other words, grown men will sometimes act like little boys.

92------One bad apple can spoil the whole barrel

Do not associate with bad people. They may spoil you as a rotting apple spoils the apples next to it in the barrel.

93-----Better the devil you know than the devil you don't

People are generally not trustworthy. It is therefore better to deal with a familiar person or situation than an unknown one. That way you know what to watch out for and you can protect yourself better.

94-----Nobody is perfect

Everyone has shortcomings. This is used as an excuse for a minor Mistake that has been made.

95------The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence

People are never satisfied with what they have. They always want what someone else has.

A person's energy level is more important than age.

97-----A man's home is his castle

At home a man is like a king, completely free to do as he wishes.

98-----Clothes make the man

The way a man dresses will affect the way he sees himself and the way other people see him. The implication is that if you want to succeed, dress for success.

99-----Two heads are better than one

Two people are more likely to succeed than one working or thinking alone. It is better to consult than to act alone.

100-----Beauty is only skin deep

One should admire a person, particularly a woman, for her deep, inner character and not simply for her superficial beauty.

101-----Many hands make light work

Cooperation makes a job much easier.

102-----There is safety in numbers

Do not take large risks all by yourself. Do not walk alone on a dangerous street at night.

103-----Charity begins at home

One should be kind to close relatives before doing good to the community in general.

104-----There is no place like home

Home is the best place in the world. The most relaxing and enjoyable place.

105-----Silence is consent

Do not stay silent when you see a problem or an injustice. Speak out against it. Say, "Enough is enough." or people will think you do not mind the situation.

106-----What goes around comes around

What you do to others, especially if it is bad, will eventually be done to you. As you seek your own success, do not treat other people badly. They may take revenge and spoil your success.

107-----Honesty is the best policy

When one is tempted to cheat, this proverb serves as a reminder of the importance of good character. Honesty brings trust and trust leads to success.

108-----If the shoe fits, wear it

If an accusation is true, accept the blame. This saying can also mean, " if a suitable opportunity comes to you, take it!"

109-----You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink

Even when given an opportunity, some people will not use it. In that case the blame is all on him.

110-----You made the bed, you lie in it

You created a certain situation so you are now responsible to take the consequences.

111-----The pot calling the kettle black

Since the pot and the kettle are equally black from the cooking fire, the pot has not right to criticize the kettle. This might be used if someone known to be a gossip criticizes someone else for gossiping.

112-----Don't get mad, get even

When someone treats you badly, do not just get angry, express your anger in action.

113-----Get a life

Do not be so unreasonably critical about tiny things. Find something better to do with your time.

114-----My country, right or wrong

I am absolutely loyal to my country whether or not I agree with its policy in a certain area.

115------There are two sides to everything

Never assume that all the blame for a conflict lies on one side, especially if you have heard only one side of the story.

116-----Forgive and forget

Conflicts should be resolved and ended, not left alone to cause years of regret, bitterness and pain.

117------Business and pleasure don't mix

When you work, work. When you play, play. It is inefficient and therefore unwise to try to mix the two.

118-----Let a sleeping dog lie

Do not meddle in something that will cause you no trouble if you leave it alone. If you wake up the "dog," it may bite you.

119------No man can serve two masters

Divided loyalty will break down sooner or later.

121-----What will be will be

Some things cannot be changed or avoided.

122-----A friend in need is a friend indeed

My true friend is the one who show loyalty to me by helping me when I am in need.

123-----People who live in glass house should not throw stones

Do not attact anyone if you have no way to defend yourself when they attact you in the same way.

124-----Opposites attract

As positive and negative magnets attract each other, so people of very different types attract each other. For example, a quiet woman marries a very outgoing man. These differences have a mixed effect on the couple, partly making them interested in each other but also leading to miscommunication and conflict.

125-----The early bird catches the worm

Punctuality is important. If you want to succeed, arrive early, like the bird that hunts worms at dawn before they go into hiding for the day.

126-----Blood is thicker than water

Blood relationship is stronger than voluntarily chosen friendship. Brothers will stick up for each other against their own friends if they have to. This proverb is not quoted much anymore because kinship is not as highly valued as it used to be.

127-----You can't teach an old dog new tricks

Once habits are learned, it is very hard to change them.

128-----To err is human

It is normal for humans to make mistakes and it is godly (or God-like) to forgive them.

If you do not seize the opportunity, rain may come and spoil the hay before you get into the barn.

131-----If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen

Withdraw from an activity if you don't like the conflict and criticism it brings. Let other people do it without you.

132-----Everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time

This is to tell us that we are all equal.

133-----Life is a pie

It's dished out in large and small pieces and when's gone, it's gone. If we ask for more than our share, we're just begging to be disappointed.

134-----Making every minute count

Doing something productive all the time, not letting any time "slip away."

135-----A pen is mightier than the sword

A conflict maybe resolved more deeply and effectively by writing the truth than by resorting to violence.

136-----A new broom sweeps clean

139-----Business is business

Do business with strangers as if they were brothers and with brothers as if they were strangers.

140-----History repeats itself

There are patterns in history. Nations rise and fall for similar reasons. Nations do not change their ways or learn from the mistakes of others. They repeat them.

141-----People are people

Their human nature is predictable. They respond to stimulus and incentives.

142-----Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer

A man without enemy is a man without quality. Think not? Even Jesus Christ had many, many enemies.

143-----Better late than never

Though being on time is better than being late, doing something late is better than giving up or doing nothing.

144-----Punish one, teach a hundred

People problems sometimes must be dealt with harshly. When you make an example of someone, make sure that everyone knows what the lesson is.

145-----Attitude is everything

A pessimist sees a glass half-empty, An optimist sees it half-full.

146-----Like father, like son

A son will be like his father. This may be quoted whenever the son has done something that reminds people of the father. Whether it is good or bad.

147-----When the cat's away the mice will play

People will take advantage of a situation if they can. Employees will get lazy if the supervisor is not keeping an eye on them. A teenage son or daughter might hold a wild party at home during a weekend when the parents have gone out of town.

148-----Praise when praise is due (sometimes even when it isn't)

Do not criticise beyond necessity and seldom in public. And always precede criticism with a few words of praise.

149-----Turnabout is fair play

If a person is taking advantage of someone else, the situation may change. The one on top may end up on the bottom. Then the one who has turned the tables will say, "I am only doing to you what you did to me.

150-----Here today, gone tomorrow

Things may change quickly. This is said as a criticism of a person who changes quickly for no good reason. It may also be said of a thing or situation which does not last. Change is not good when it indicates unreliability.
