Desperate times call for desperate measures

Sometimes, a situation is so urgent or unexpected that you have to resort to doing things you normally would not



Different strokes for different talks

You need different plans or strategies in managing different people as people are different in personality and temperament



Diligence is the mother of good fortune

Working hard will bring you riches and success



Distance lends enchantment to the view

When you are free of a problem or far away from troublesome people, you begin to feel that things were not so bad after all



Divide and rule

A method of ruling or managing people where you separate them into different groups to make sure they do not join forces against you



East or West, home is best

You feel safest, most comfortable and most at peace in your own home



Even a broken/stopped clock is right twice a day

No one is ever wrong all the time



Even a dog can distinguish between being stumbled over and being kicked

Do not let people bully you, but be alert to when you are being taken advantage of



Every ass loves to hear himself bray

Conceited people love to boast about their achievements



Every bird loves to listen to himself sing

People who know they are good at something tend to boast about their ability



Every family has a skeleton in the cupboard

Every family has their secrets



Every man has his faults

No one is perfect





Every man has his price

If you offer someone enough money, he will be willing to do anything for you



Every man is his own worst enemy

A lot of people tend to hurt their own chance at success because of negative-mindedness, fear, ignorance, unresolved issues



Every man must carry his own cross

Everyone has to carry his burden or responsibilities in life



Every picture tells a story

Every situation has an explanation



Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die

Everyone wants to enjoy success, but few are willing to work hard or take the risks involved in achieving it



Example is better than precept

It is better to show by example than to advise, order or tell people to be upright
