Experience is the mother of wisdom

You become wiser as you gain more experience in life



Facts are stubborn things

You cannot change the facts of a case



Failure teaches success

People can learn from their failures and mistakes



Faith will move mountains

Miracles will happen when you believe that they will



Familiarity breeds contempt

People tend to lose respect for people they are close to or in close company with all the time



Fear is stronger than love

Fear is often a stronger emotion or motivation than even love



Fear of death is worse than death itself

Fear is often a crippling emotion because it is so powerful



Fine feathers make fine birds

You can pretend to be rich, famous etc. by dressing the part



Fine words butter no parsnips

Just talking about something is not going to get the job done



First deserve, then desire

Before you begin to hope about possessing something, make sure you are qualified for it



First things first

Do the more urgent and important things first



First think, and then speak

Think about what you are going to say before you speak



Flattery brings friends, truth enemies

People like to hear good things said about them although they may not be the truth



Fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me

You should be alert to people trying to get the better of you



Fretting cares make grey hairs

Worrying is a negative activity that can age you prematurely



Garbage in, garbage out

If the information or input you provide is wrong, the end result will also be below par or flawed



Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime

It is better to teach people how to be independent by teaching them how to do things for themselves than to do everything for them



Give and take is fair play

You should be willing to give in partly to others if you want them to give in partly to you



Give credit where credit is due

Appreciate someone for the good work he ahs done



Give him an inch and he'll want a yard

Some people always take advantage of favor that is shown them



Good fences make good neighbors

Respect people's privacy and their territory



Good wine needs no bush

Products of good quality do not need a lot of advertising, as their quality alone shows their worth



Goodness is better than beauty

Inner beauty is more valuable than outer beauty



Grasp all, lose all

If you are too greedy and try to grab everything you see, you might lose that and everything you have too



Green leaves and brown leaves fall from the same tree

Everyone has a common beginning, and therefore, no one is above another



Happy wife, happy life

If you have a happy or good life partner, you will be happy and contented



Hard words break no bones

Ignore insults as they cannot physically harm you, and will only harm you emotionally if you let them



Haste makes waste

Things that are done in a hurry are usually done sloppily, and may contain careless mistakes



He is rich who owes nothing

A person who owes no one a debt is free of worry, and therefore, rich, in a sense



He is the best general who makes the fewest mistakes

A good leader rarely makes mistakes
