Title: Favourite quotes or sayings


Thermopyles - March 9, 2006 08:33 PM (GMT)
I thought it would be fun and educational if we all contribute our favourite qoutes and sayings from our countries and the ones we live in. B)

I'll start:

"Efages to gadaro, fae kai tin oura"
Hard to translate, but means: you already started doing something stupid, and too late to quit, so finnish it.

"Mexri na pantreftis tha yiani"
by the time your married, it will heal

"opoios viazete skotapti"
He who is in a hurry will be the one who trips

"Kako skuli psofo den exei"
Bad (or evil) dog (or person) will have no death (or live too long)

From the US:

"Don't beat a dead horse"

"One ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"

"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth"

And of course my favourite, "Pan Metron Ariston"

:D

Revenge is a dish best served cold

Great minds work alike

Might is right

Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea

Out of the frying pan and into the fire

Not one of my favourites, but one that makes me laugh:

Tis poutanas o kolos den gernaei, kai otan gernaei kalopernaei...

From Calvin & Hobbes:

Girls are like slugs - they probably serve some purpose, but it's hard to imagine what.

It's a magical world, Hobbes ol' buddy. Let's go exploring!

Reality continues to ruin my life
