Английские пословицы и поговорки

Like a cat on hot bricks; like a needle in a haystack

To wear one's heart upon one's sleeve

Too much knowledge makes the head bald

True coral needs no painter's brush

When children stand quiet, they have done some harm

While there is life there is hope

The higher the ape goes, the more he shows his tail

Where there's a will, there's a way

The cobbler should stick to his last

The camel going to seek horns lost his ears

Nightingales will not sing in a cage

It is a silly fish, that is caught twice with the same bait

To give a lark to catch a kite

There are more ways to the wood than one

The pot calls the kettle black

The end crowns the work

Scornful dogs will eat dirty puddings

One swallow does not make a summer

It is good fishing in troubled waters

Such carpenters, such chips

Soon ripe, soon rotten

Since Adam was a boy

Set a beggar on horseback and he'll ride to the devil

Respect yourself, or no one else will respect you

One drop of poison infects the whole tun of wine

No song, no supper

As plain as the nose on a man's face

A great ship asks deep waters

A drowning man will catch at a straw

With time and patience the leaf of the mulberry becomes satin
