When the HOUSE is burned down, you bring water / It is too late to shut the STABLE -DOOR after the horse has bolted / It is easy to be WISE after the event.

When a thing is done, ADVICE comes too late.Ĭf.If you wish good ADVICE, consult an old man.Ĭine are bãtrân sã-l vândã si cine n-are sã-l cumpere.Ĭf.A woman’s ADVICE is no great thing, but he who won’t take it is a fool.īine este sã ascul ti si sfatul unei neveste.EXPERIENCE is the mother of knowledge / EXPERIENCE is the best teacher / An ounce of PRACTICE is worth a pound of precept. Sã te fereascã Dumnezeu când o face râma ochi, cã-i mai rea decât sarpele.Ĭând ar fi dupã corbi, to ti caii ar fi mor ti.Ĭf. If the ADDER could hear, and the blindworm could see, neither man nor beast would ever go free.When ADAM delved and Eve span, who was then the gentleman?ĭacã ar fi fost to ti boga ti, cine ar fi sãpat ogoarele?.If you have not a capon, feed on onion / They that have no other meat, bread and butter are glad to eat / Better a mouse (louse) in the pot than no flesh at all.įaptele grãiesc mai apãsat decât vorbele. Everyone as they like best / Tastes differ.īunã si mãmãliga, când ne lipse ste pâinea.īunã-i plãcinta, dar dacã nu-i, e bunã si pita. Where every man is MASTER the world goes to wreck. There is no good ACCORD where every man would be a lord.Ĭf.What the HEART thinks, the tongue speaks. Out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.Ĭf. Out of the ABUNDANCE of the heart the mouth speaketh.He is neither absent without fault, nor present without excuse. ABSENCE sharpens love, presence strengthens it.Ĭelor ce duc mai mult dorul, le pare mai dulce odorul.
