Here are some useful proverbs :
----------------------
Many hands make light work .
All roads lead to Rome .
More haste less speed .
Necessity is the mother of invention .
All that glitters is not gold .
No gain without pain .
All work and no play makes Jack a dull day .
No news is good news .
One good turn deserves another .
Absence makes the heart grow founder.
Actions speak louder than words .
All good things come to an end .
As you make your bed . So you must lie in it .

The best things in life are free.

A stitch in time saves nine.

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.

It was the last straw that broke the camel\'s back.

He teaches ill, who teaches all.

Yes that is correct.. ألمعلم
as The unusual structure of this proverb may make it difficult to understand. It becomes easier if we change the structure to \"He who teaches all teaches ill.\" The word \"ill\" here means \"badly\". So it means that the teacher who teaches students everything, does not teach well. A good teacher lets students discover some things for themselves. But mashallah u got it Right.. i admire ur way of thinking..
inshallah i will add more.. :)

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.

It was the last straw that broke the camel\'s back.

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

If the stone fall upon the egg, alas for the egg! If the egg fall upon the stone, alas for the egg!

Where there\'s a will there\'s a way.

Marry in haste, and repent at leisure.

One tongue is enough for a woman.

If you wish good advice, consult an old man.

The best advice is found on the pillow.

All clouds bring not rain.

You can\'t tell a book by its cover.

No news is good news.

Bad news travels fast.

Live and let live.

Birds of a feather flock together.
