Proverbs :

A bad workman always blames his tools
A careless or unskilled worker blames bad work on his tools rather than himself.
A new broom sweeps clean
A person newly appointed is always eager and enthusiastic in his work.
Don't judge a book by its cover
Do not be deceived by appearances.
Blood is thicker than water
Family ties are stronger than any other.
Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
Do not make plans based on something that has not happened.
Don't make a mountain out of a molehill
Do not make a big fuss or issue over something minor or small
Experience is the best teacher
The best way to learn a job is to do it.
The last straw that broke the camel's back
The final thing that, when added to a bad or unpleasant situation, causes failure or ruin.
Look at the bright side
Be optimistic
Make hay while the sun shinesSeize opportunities
Out of sight, out of mind
You will soon forget friends you do not meet or keep in contact with.
A leopard cannot change its spots
A person's nature cannot change.
There are two sides to every question
There are always two ways of looking at something
Too many cooks spoil the broth
Too many people doing the same thing at the same time will not be successful
We never miss the water till the well runs dryYou only realize the importance of something when it is gone
To put the cart before the horse
To do something in an incorrect order
Bite off more than one can chew
To try to do something one is unable to do or incapable of doing.
Half a loaf is better than none
It's better to have or receive less than one desires than to have or receive nothing at all.
Have an old head on young shoulders
Youngsters who possess qualities of wisdom one would only expect to find in experienced older people.

Have eyes in the back of one's head
An ability to know what is happening not within the scope of one's vision.
If it's not one thing it's another
The troubles seem to go on and on without end.
The sky is the limit
There is no upper limit to something
A trouble shared is a trouble halved
Your troubles seem half as great when you discuss them with someone else
A watched pot never boils
If you watch or wait for something to get done or to happen it seems to take forever
Worship the ground somebody walks on
Very much in love with somebody
Between a rock and a hard place
To be in a difficult situation from which there seems to be no escape
Cleanliness is next to Godliness
To be clean and tidy is just as important as being spiritually good and religious.
Money is the root of all evil
Crimes and wickedness are associated with money.
Two's company, three's a crowd
It is always fun while there are only two people whereas the third person is an unwelcome intrusion.
It takes all sorts to make a worldYou should not expect everyone to think and act as you do.
Jump from the frying pan into the fire
To go from a bad position to a worse one.
Go from the sublime to the ridiculous
Move from one situation which is wonderful or perfect to another which is absurd or awful
One swallow doesn't make a summer
One success doesn't guarantee complete success
Truth is stranger than fiction
Real life can be more incredible than anything which can be imagined
You can't have your cake and eat itYou must choose between two things as it is impossible to have both at the same time
A miss is as good as a mile
Something that one already has is better than something that one may not be able to get
As you make your bed so must you lie on it
You must accept the consequences of your act
Cut your coat according to your cloth
Live within your income; don't be too ambitious in your plans
