Proverbs.

Ok. I'd like to hear your favourite proverbs.. the ones that you think are the most beautiful or inspiring

Ok, but its german and from my grandmothers mother, so full of moral!!:

"Die Strafe folgt der bösen Tat,
wie der Zwirn der Hosennaht"

~"la peine suit le délit, comme le fil suit la couture du pantalon"~

(can anyone translate into english?)

J'adore ceci, because it makes people very angry

For example when someone teases me and directly after that something funny happens to him, like something in his hand fallls down or he walks into a door or anything, I say that. Its a good "conter".

"Smile and the world smiles with you"
"A friend in need is a friend indeed"
"all work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy"
"April showers bring May flowers"
"do onto others as you would have them do onto you"
"Failure teaches sucess"
Laughter is the best medicine
Love conquers all
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
the best things in life are free
United we stand, divided we fall

To err is human- to forgive, divine.
and my personal motto:
"peace and love, baby"
