Latin Proverb
The good is the enemy of the best. The goodwill accompanying the gift is the best portion of it. The grape is not ripened by the rays of the moon. The grasshopper is dear to the grasshopper, the ant loves the ant. The great elephant of India cares not for a gnat. The greater the fool, the greater his insolence. The greatest consideration is due to the innocence of youth. The habits of our youth accompany us in our old age. The half is better than the whole. The hand often travels to the part where the pain is. The hand that gives gathers. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. The happier the time, the more quickly it passes. The harp dispels care. The hatred of knaves is preferable to their company. The hatred of knaves is preferable to their company. View proverb
Latin Proverb
You may judge a man by his countenance. You may judge of a man by his remarks. You may know a lion by his claw. You must howl with wolves if you wish to be one of their herd. You must rave with the insane, unless you would be left alone. You reap the crop of another. You reap what you sow. You sail in the same boat. You seek for fruit in the garden of Tantalus. You seek water from a stone. You seek wool from a donkey. You should eat plentifully of the flesh of the turtle or not at all. You should know a man seven years before you stir his fire. You should only believe half of what you see, and none of which you hear. You stick in the same mire. You talk to a deaf man. You talk to a wall. You teach the dolphin to swim. You teach the dolphin to swim. (Latin Proverb)
