ITALIAN PROVERBS

Anger can be an expensive luxury. 

Better give a penny then lend twenty. 

Give time time. 

Necessity becomes will. 

The habit doesn't make a monk. 

One who sleeps doesn't catch fish. 

Silence was never written down. 

The liar needs a good memory. 

Better one day as a lion than a hundred as a sheep. 

A forced kindness deserves no thanks. 

He who starts well is half way done. 

Better an egg today than a chicken tomorrow 

Give neither counsel nor salt till you are asked for it. 

Who offends writes on sand; who is offended, on marble. 

Between saying and doing many a pair of shoes is worn out. 

Silence gives consent. 

People in glass houses should not throw stones. 

A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle. 

A fool and his money are soon parted. 

He who does nothing, does not fail. 

Barking dogs don't bite. 

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. 

There is no appeal from time past. 

There are not two without three. 

He who finds a friend, finds a treasure. 

To each his own. 

Don't judge a book by its cover. 

Time is money. 

Trouble rides a fast horse. 

A favour to come is better than a hundred received. 

Every rule has an exception
