A bad workman always blames his tools

A careless or unskilled worker blames bad work on his tools rather than himself.



A new broom sweeps clean

A person newly appointed is always eager and enthusiastic in his work.



Don't judge a book by its cover

Do not be deceived by appearances.



Blood is thicker than water

Family ties are stronger than any other.



Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.

Do not make plans based on something that has not happened.



Don't make a mountain out of a molehill

Do not make a big fuss or issue over something minor or small



Experience is the best teacher

The best way to learn a job is to do it.



The last straw that broke the camel's back

The final thing that, when added to a bad or unpleasant situation, causes failure or ruin.



Look at the bright side

Be optimistic



Make hay while the sun shines

Seize opportunities



Out of sight, out of mind

You will soon forget friends you do not meet or keep in contact with.



A leopard cannot change its spots

A person's nature cannot change.



There are two sides to every question
There are always two ways of looking at something

Too many cooks spoil the broth
Too many people doing the same thing at the same time will not be successful

We never miss the water till the well runs dry
You only realize the importance of something when it is gone

To put the cart before the horse
To do something in an incorrect order

Bite off more than one can chew
To try to do something one is unable to do or incapable of doing.

Half a loaf is better than none
It's better to have or receive less than one desires than to have or receive nothing at all.

Have an old head on young shoulders
Youngsters who possess qualities of wisdom one would only expect to find in experienced older people.
