could! Practice makes perfect.
Grasp all, lose all.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
The biter bit.
Nothing venture, nothing gain. Out of sight, out of mind. Misfortunes never come singly.
Speak of the devil and he will
appear. Like father like son. All that glitters is not gold. Rome was not built in a day. Idleness is the root of all evil. To forgive is divine, to err is human. Choose the lesser of two evils. He who laughs last laughs best.
Possession is nine points of the law.
When in Rome do as the Romans do.
Every cloud has a silver lining. Many a mickle makes a muckle.
Fortune favours the brave.
Poverty is no crime. Poverty is no crime, but nor a great honour.
Empty stomachs don’t make for
clear heads. Youth must have its fling. There are two sides to every story. Work well and shame the devil. (Do right and shame the devil.)
No ravelyu kat dormanda. Min vu parlar, min vu rigror.
Min vortos, min rigros. Bonesta amikos idyes separenda. Nil nuvel, bon nuvel. Prenu kozos as zi venar. Esan va natur pelat, idyes it revenor.
Es yuno spur, es oldo pur!
Pratikande so perfijar. - Forgande
so jar forger. Trali tro, perdi to. Dim panel mela qam nilo. Manke drosos, so edar merlos. Morder mordat. - Talun mordat ki
vir mordi. Nil gan sen risko. - Nil risko, nil gan. Dus da vid, dus da kor. Nil malox venar sola. - Malox
ni venar sola. Parlu del dyablo, il venor.
Tala patro, tala filyo.
No to ki brilar sar auro.
Rom no sir bildat unide.
Pigro radik de tot visos.
Pardon dea, eror oma.
Inte du malos elgu lo mina.
Mele ridar ki ridar laste; lastun
ridar meleste. Posed fas rek. - Ixa ki posedar! -
Ixa lo poseder! Romye, agu as Romas. - Urlu kol
lupos, ridu kol rideros. Nil nub sen orlo klara. Mul petrulos far un muk. - Pokpoke
l’ezo far sa nid. Fortun favorar (elpar) l’ozer. (l’audaxa) Povo no kulpo.
Povo no kulpo, mo nor gran onor.
Onga ventro no ar orelos.
Yuno pasenda.
Shak istor ar du versyonos.
Agu ben e liu parli.
