Proverbs

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
For the love of the game
Forbearance is no acquittance
Forbidden fruit is sweet
Forewarned is forearmed
Fortune favours the brave (the bold)
Fortune is easily found, but hard to be kept
Four eyes see more (better) than two
Friends are thieves of time
From bad to worse
From pillar to post
Gentility without ability is worse than plain beggary
Get a name to rise early, and you may lie all day
Gifts from enemies are dangerous
Give a fool rope enough, and he will hang himself
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice
Give him an inch and he'll take an ell
Give never the wolf the wether to keep
Gluttony kills more men than the sword
Go to bed with the lamb and rise with the lark
Good clothes open all doors
Good counsel does no harm
Good health is above wealth
Good masters make good servants
Good words and no deeds
Good words without deeds are rushes and reeds
Gossiping and lying go hand in hand
Grasp all, lose all
Great barkers are no biters
Great boast, small roast
Great cry and little wool
Great spenders are bad lenders
Great talkers are great liars
Great talkers are little doers
Greedy folk have long arms
Habit cures habit
Half a loaf is better than no bread
Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark
Handsome is that handsome does
Happiness takes no account of time
