Hi all! I found in a magazine for learners of English some proverbs. But I`m not sure about them. Are they only Slovak proverbs translated into English? Or English people really know/use them...
Here they are:
1.Fish start to smell from the head.
2.When Lady Luck is tired,she sometimes sits on an ox.
3. Fear has big eyes.
4. Lies have short legs.
5.What is possible for God is not possible for an ox.
and many other..: 6.They haven`t even caught the wolf, and they`re already drinking to its pelt. ..it should be 'Don`t count your chickens before they`ve hatched.'
7.The more languages you know, the more you are a human being.
Thanx for help
