English Proverbs Spanish Proverbs


Where there is a will, there is a way.
Killing two birds with one stone
It's no use crying over spilt milk.
An empty barrel resounds loudly.
Like two drops of water
A penny saved is a penny earned.
An apple a day keeps the doctors away.
A fruitless life is useless life.
Patience brings rewards.
An empty purse frightens away friends.
An onion a day keeps everyone away.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Home sweet home
Like father, like son, like mother, like daughter
Swept away on the main street
Many hands make light work
One rotten apple spoils the barrel
All doors open to courtesy
The early bird catches the worm
A stitch in time saves nine.
Barking dogs seldom bite
Practice makes perfect.
Everyone can find fault, few can do better.
Between the devil and the great sea
Great talkers are little doers.
A burn child, dread fire
However long the night, the dawn will break.
Still waters run deep.
No pain, no gain
Like homewards fish goes to depth
Don’t build castle in the air.
There’s no smoke without fire.
Cleanliness is next to godliness.
