Proverb ['prɔvə:b]A "proverb" is a short, traditional saying in general use. It usually expresses some obvious truth or familiar experience."The best things in life are free."===> We don't have to pay for the things that are really valuable, like love, friendship and good health."Still waters run deep.""You can't take it with you when you die.""Better untaught than ill taught.""Don't cross your bridges before you come to them.""Soon learnt, soon forgotten.""Even a worm will turn."====> Con giun xéo lắm cũng quằn"It was the last straw that broke the camel's back.""If the stone fall upon the egg, alas for the egg! If the egg fall upon the stone, alas for the egg!"===> Life just isn't fair, and this realistic Arab proverb recognizes that. The stone will always break the egg. Life's like that!"Marry in haste, and repent at leisure."====> If we get married quickly, without thinking carefully, we may be sorry later. And we will have plenty of time to be sorry."The best advice is found on the pillow."===> If we have a problem, we may find the answer after a good night's sleep. People also often say: "I'll sleep on it.""All clouds bring not rain."""""" You can't tell a book by its cover """"""Bad news travels fast.""No news is good news.""Live and let live.""Birds of a feather flock together."====> "Birds of a feather" means "birds of the same type". The whole proverb means that people of the same type or sort stay together. They don't mix with people of another type.
