A bad tree does not yield good apples.A bad parent does not raise good children.
A bad workman blames his tools.Blaming the tools for bad workmanship is an excuse for lack of skill.
A bird in hand is worth two in
a bush.
It is better to keep what you have rather than to risk losing it by searching for something better.
A broken friendship may be soldered but will never be sound.Friendships can be rebuilt after a dispute but will never be as strong as before.
A burden of one's own choice is not felt.Something difficult seems easier when it is done voluntarily.
A burnt child dreads the fire.A bad experience will make people stay away from certain things.
A cat has nine lives.1) Cats can survive many accidents because they land on their feet without injury.
2) Nine lives = 3 years to play, 3 years to stray, 3 years to stay.
A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.The strength of a group depends on each individual member.
A change is as good as a rest.A change in routine is often as refreshing as a break or a holiday.
A dry March, a wet April and a cool May fill barn and cellar and bring much hay.Harvest predictions are made according to the weather.
A fault confessed is half redressed.Confession is the beginning of forgiveness.
A flower blooms more than once.If you miss an occasion, you can avail yourself of it another time.
A fool and his money are (soon) easily parted.A foolish person usually spends money carelessly.
A fool at forty is a fool forever.If a person hasn't matured by the age of 40, they never will.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.Someone who helps you when you are in trouble is a real friend.
A friend to all is a friend to none.Someone who is a friend to everyone makes none of them feel special.
A friend's eye is a good mirror.A real friend will tell you the truth.
A good example is the best sermon.Giving a good example is better than giving advice.
A good beginning makes a good end.If a task is carefully planned, there's a better chance that it will be well done.
A good conscience is a soft pillow.You sleep well when you have nothing to be guilty about.
A guilty conscience needs no accuser.If you know that you have done something wrong, you don't need anyone to tell you that you're guilty.
A hungry belly has no ears.A hungry person is totally concentrated on their need for food and nothing else interests them.
A hungry wolf is fixed to no place.A desperate person will go from place to place in order to satisfy their needs.
