| As you sow, so you shall
reap |
| One will either enjoy or
suffer the consequences of his earlier actions or
inactions. | | | | Barking dogs seldom
bite |
| Those who make loud
threats seldom carry them out. | | | | Better late than
never |
| To do something that is
right, profitable, or good a little late is still better than not doing it at
all. | | | | A bird in hand is worth
two in the bush
|
| Something that one
already has is better than going after something seemingly more worthwhile that
one may not be able to get. | | | | Birds of a feather flock
together |
| People of the same sort
of character or belief always go together. | | | | Call a spade a spade
|
| If you say that someone
calls a spade a spade, you mean that they speak frankly and directly,
often about embarrassing or unpleasant subjects; an informal
expression. | | | | Charity begins at
home
|
| A person's first
obligation should be to help the member of his own family before he can begin
thinking of talking about helping others. | | | | Dead men tell no
lies
|
| ( often used as an
argument for killing someone whose knowledge of a secret may cause one loss or
get into serious trouble.) | | | | A great talker is a great
liar |
| A smooth and persuasive
talker may be a good liar. | | | | Every cloud has a silver
lining
|
| If you say that every

positive side to it. If you talk about silver lining you are talking about
something positive that comes out of a sad or unpleasant
situation. | | | | All that glitters is not
gold |
| Do not be deceived by
things or offers that appear to be attractive |
