Proverbs:

He knows most who speaks last
The one who waits to listen to what others have to say before speaking has a better understanding of a situation
He that goes a-borrowing, goes a -sorrowing
Do not make borrowing a habit as you will suffer for it in the end
He that is master of himself, will soon be master of masters
Self-discipline will help you achieve greatness
He that knows nothing, doubts nothing
An ignorant person usually raises no questions because he is not aware that problems exist
He that plants thorns must never expect to gather roses
If you do evil, do not expect good to come to you
He who dares, wins
You can only win or succeed if you are willing to take risks
He who fails to prepare, prepares to fail
lack of preparation will cause you to lose or fail
He who hesitates is lost
You will lose opportunities if you are indecisive and not fast enough to grab them
He who knows does not speak. He who speaks does not know
It is an ironic situation when someone who should speak up does not while the person who should not, does
He who likes borrowing dislikes paying
People who tend to borrow often are usually slow in settling debts
He who lives too fast, goes to his grave too soon
If you do not allow yourself to rest once in a while when you lead a fast-paced life, you will suffer from stress, burnt out and illness
He who sleeps forgets his hunger
sleeping is a good way to forget you are hungry, especially when there is no food for you and you have no money to buy any
He who serves two masters must lie to one
You cannot effectively or fully serve two people as your attention, loyalty, commitment etc. will be split between the two
He who stands for nothing will fall for everything
A person with no principles or opinions of his own will tend to go along with anything anyone tells him, and can, therefore, be easily cheated
He who sups with the devil has need of a long spoon
If you keep company with or work for dangerous or evil people, you will need to be very careful

He who will steal an egg will steal an ox
A person who steals small things is likely to steal big things too
Health is better than wealth
It is better to be healthy than rich, as without a healthy body you can do nothing, and cannot enjoy your wealth
History repeats itself
People tend to repeat mistakes made by others over the generations, not learning from them

Honey catches more flies than vinegar
Use the right incentives to motivate people to do something
Hope for the best, expect the worst
Never lose hope, but be prepared with an alternative if things do not go as planned
Hope is life
To live is to always be hopeful
Hope is the last thing that we lose
People are by nature hopeful, and must always be so because when we lose hope, we lose the will to live
Hope springs eternal
Hope is something that never dies, and people should never lose hope
Hunger is the best spice
When you are really hungry, everything tastes good, and you eat up everything placed in front of you
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again
Never stop trying to succeed at something
If the shoe fits, wear it
If something said about you is true, you should accept it.
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride
It is easy to wish for things, but wishes do not often come true
If you buy cheaply, you pay dearly
Cheap goods are usually not the best in terms of quality
If you buy quality, you only cry once
Items of good quality may be expensive, but they will last you a long time
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen
If you cannot handle something, give it up
If you don't buy a ticket, you can't win the raffle
If you do not take the risk, you cannot expect success
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all
Avoid being negative
If you keep your mouth shut, you won't put your foot in it
Keep quiet, and you will say nothing wrong
If you want a thing done right, do it yourself
Do not rely on others to complete your work for you
If you were born to be shot, you'll never be hanged
You cannot escape your fate
If you're in a hole, stop digging
Do not create more trouble for yourself when you are already facing some
