The thin end of the wedge

That something can appear to be small and of no particular importance - yet it can turn out to be the beginning of a major problem.



A thing of beauty is a joy forever

It means that though something beautiful may not last, the happy memory of it will live forever.



Time heals old wounds

The passing of time helps us to forget things that have caused us pain or made us unhappy.



The truth will out

Truth about something will eventually be discovered or made known



Turn up like a bad penny

Something or someone disliked just won't go away



Two wrongs do not make a right

If a person does something to harm or offend us, that's wrong. If we do something to harm them back, that's wrong too.



Uneasy is the head that wears the crown

Notable or important people are often concerned about losing their positions.



Waste not, want not

If we're careful and waste nothing we'll never go without things we need.



The way to a man's heart is through his stomach

Most men love to eat so feed your husband well and he will always love you.



Wear out one's welcome

One is no longer welcome, usually because he has become a nuisance



When poverty comes in the door, love flies out the window

As soon as a happily married couple begin having financial problems and the bills pile up their love will disappear.



Who keeps company with wolves, will learn to howl

If we associate with bad companions we, too, will become bad



You pays your money and you takes your chances

A humorous way of saying that we sometimes must trust in luck when buying something.



Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them

If you are rich and successful, you will attract many friends, but if you should suffer hardship or have misfortune ( adversity ), your friends will quickly depart.
