Let's talk about proverbs

By Ranjana S.

I share some, you share some; will you?


§  Still waters run deep:

A quiet person can have much acumen, knowledge, ability, strength, will, etc.
Don't underestimate.

§  Rome was not built in a day:

If you want to accomplish an important and difficult task invest time, patience and hard work.

§  There is as good fish in the sea as ever come out of it:

It is suggested that even if one chance has not been seized, there will be plenty of others.

§  Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone:

In the bog, you are serenading but alas!! No one gives you an ear.
People are ready to share your joys, ebullient moments and successes rather than sympathize in your sorrow and failures.

§  Honesty is the best policy:

It is safer and more advantageous for a woman/man to be honest than dishonest.

§  Genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains:

Exceptional capacity is the result of inexhaustible willingness to work and take great trouble.

§  The proof of the pudding is in the eating:

The real test is practical not theoretical. It is only the practical experience that can assess the value of a thing.


We will discuss some more shortly.......:)
