Proverbs:

Every picture tells a story
Every situation has an explanation
 
Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die
Everyone wants to enjoy success, but few are willing to work hard or take the risks involved in achieving it
 
Example is better than precept
It is better to show by example than to advise, order or tell people to be upright

 People can learn from their failures and mistakes
   
Faith will move mountains
 Miracles will happen when you believe that they will
   
Familiarity breeds contempt
 People tend to lose respect for people they are close to or in close company with all the time
 
Fear is stronger than love
Fear is often a stronger emotion or motivation than even love
 
Fear of death is worse than death itself
 Fear is often a crippling emotion because it is so powerful
   
Fine feathers make fine birds
 You can pretend to be rich, famous etc. by dressing the part
   
Fine words butter no parsnips

First deserve, then desire
 Before you begin to hope about possessing something, make sure you are qualified for it
   
First things first
 Do the more urgent and important things first
   
First think, and then speak
 Think about what you are going to say before you speak

Flattery brings friends, truth enemies
 People like to hear good things said about them although they may not be the truth

 You should be alert to people trying to get the better of you
   
Fretting cares make grey hairs

Garbage in, garbage out
 If the information or input you provide is wrong, the end result will also be below par or flawed
   
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime
 It is better to teach people how to be independent by teaching them how to do things for themselves than to do everything for them
   
Give and take is fair play
 You should be willing to give in partly to others if you want them to give in partly to you
   
Give credit where credit is due
 Appreciate someone for the good work he ahs done
   
Give him an inch and he'll want a yard
 Some people always take advantage of favor that is shown them
   
Good fences make good neighbors
 Respect people's privacy and their territory
   
Good wine needs no bush
 Products of good quality do not need a lot of advertising, as their quality alone shows their worth
   
Goodness is better than beauty
 Inner beauty is more valuable than outer beauty
   
Grasp all, lose all
 If you are too greedy and try to grab everything you see, you might lose that and everything you have too
   
Green leaves and brown leaves fall from the same tree
 Everyone has a common beginning, and therefore, no one is above another
   
Happy wife, happy life
 If you have a happy or good life partner, you will be happy and contented
   
Hard words break no bones
 Ignore insults as they cannot physically harm you, and will only harm you emotionally if you let them
   
Haste makes waste
 Things that are done in a hurry are usually done sloppily, and may contain careless mistakes
   
He is rich who owes nothing
 A person who owes no one a debt is free of worry, and therefore, rich, in a sense
   
He is the best general who makes the fewest mistakes
 A good leader rarely makes mistakes
