I cannot be your friend and your flatterer too.

If a man deceives me once, shame on him, if he deceives me twice, shame on me.

,
If you run after two hares, you will catch neither.,
If you sell the cow, you sell her milk too.
If you venture nothing, you will have nothing.,
If you want knowledge, you must toil for it.,
Industry is the parent of success.
It is better to die when life is a disgrace.,
It is easier to get money than to keep it.
It is easy to be wise after the event.
It is easy to open a shop but hard to keep it always open.
It is hard to please all.
It is never too old to learn.,
It is no use crying over spilt milk.
It is the first step that costs troublesome.
It is the unforeseen that always happens.,
It is too late to grieve when the chance is past.,
It takes three generations to make a gentleman.,
Jack of all trades and master of none.,
Judge not from appearances.,
Justice has long arms.,
Keep good men company and you shall be of the number.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Knowledge is power.
Knowledge makes humble, ignorance makes proud.,
Learn and live.,
Learning makes a good man better and ill man worse.,
Let sleeping dogs lie.
Learn to walk before you run.,
Let bygones be bygones.
Let the cat out of the bag.
Life is but a span.
Lies can never changes fact.
Lies have short legs.
Life is not all roses.
Life without a friend is death.,
Failure is the mother of success.
A young idler, an old beggar.
No pain, no gain.
Wasting time is robbing oneself.
There is no such thing as a great talent without great will - power. Balzac
