Proverbs:

Ignorance is bliss
You can be happy when you do not know there are problems around you
 
Ignorance of the law excuses no man
Not knowing what you did was wrong does not excuse you from suffering the penalty
 
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
When someone copies what you do, it means they really admire you or the way you do things
 
It is best to be on the safe side
Play safe, and be prepared for the worst to happen
 
It takes two to tango
It takes two individuals to do certain things
 
It's a blessing in disguise
When an opportunity arrives through a crisis etc.
 
It's better to give than to receive
Giving is more blessed than receiving
   
It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
 Do not be afraid to fall in love
   
Jam tomorrow and jam yesterday, but never jam today
 What you early hope for does not seem to be happening
   
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
 To progress at anything, you first need to get started
   
Judge not, lest ye be judged
 Do not judge others as you are not perfect yourself, so be merciful in the hope that others will show you mercy one day
 
Keep no more cats than will catch mice
Do not acquire more than what you need
 
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer
 Keep track of what your enemies are up to for your own protection
   
Kill not the goose that laid the golden egg
 Do not be so foolish as to destroy the source of your good fortune out of pride, greed, anger etc
   
Kill two birds with one stone
 Complete two tasks with one action

  
Kindness begets kindness
 When you are kind to people, they will be kind to you in return
   
Knowledge is power
 The more you learn, the greater influence you have over others
   
Laugh and grow fat
 Laughter creates a sense of well-being and happiness
   
Laughter is the best medicine
 being cheerful is good for your total well-being

Laughter is the shortest distance between two people
 Laughter is the best way to break the ice between strangers or enemies
   
Learn to walk before you run
 Do not rush into things before you are ready
   
Let him who is without sin cast the first stone
 You qualify to judge someone only if you yourself are faultless
   
Let the buyer beware
 Always be aware of what you are getting yourself into
   
Let us go hand in hand, not one before another
 Face problems together in unity, and not alone or in a spirit of enmity
   
Lightning never strikes twice in the same place
 The same misfortune will probably not occur again in the same place or to the same people
   
Like cures like
 People who have been through something are usually able to help others with the same problem
   
Little boys should be seen and not heard
 Children should not interrupt when adults are talking
   
Little by little and bit by bit
 If you persevere at something, you will gradually accomplish it
   
Little enemies and little wounds must not be despised
 Do not ignore people you have angered or hurt, however small the slight or injury, as they can harm you one day if they choose to bear a grudge
   
Little strokes feel great oaks
 Continuous effort, however small the mount, will help you achieve your greatest dreams and ambitions
   
Little things please little minds
 Childish people are thrilled by childish, petty things
   
Live and learn
 Learn as much as you can from life
   
Live and let live
 Get on with your own affairs and let other get on with theirs
   
Long absent, soon forgotten
 If you are away for too long, people may forget you
   
Look after the pence, and the pounds will look after themselves
 Take care of the details and the bigger issues will be solved
   
Look on the bright side
 Be positive
