КОНКУРС ПОСЛОВИЦ
East or West - home is best.
Better late than never.
All`s well that ends well.
Live and learn.
Tastes differ.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
My home is my castle.
Handsome is as handsome does.
Health is above wealth.
You cannot judge a tree by its bark.
All that glitters is not gold.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
An early bird catches the best worm.
A sound mind in a sound body.
An apple a day keeps a doctor away.
He who laughs last, laughs longest.
New Lords, new laws.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Never do today what you can get someone else to do tomorrow.
Practice makes perfect.
A bad beginning makes a bad ending.
Men make houses, women make homes.
Truth and roses have thorns.
Curiosity killed the cat.
Score twice before you cut once.
Business before pleasure.
To be on the tip one`s tongue.
Fortune favors the brave.
Rome was not built in a day.
Keep one`s fingers crossed.
Wishes don`t wash dishes.
A hungry as a hunter.
Keep your chin up.
Every cook praises his own broth.
To beat the air.
As red as a cherry.
Charity begins at home.
