Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Our feeling for loved ones increases when we are apart.
Actions speak louder than words
What people do reveals more than what they say.
Appearances are deceptive
Beauty is only skin deep.
Art is long, life is short
There is so many skills to acquire that a lifetime is not long enough.
Beggars cannot be choosers
A person in need should be grateful for what he has received.
Once bitten twice shy
Experience is often the best teacher.
There is none so blind as those who will not see
It is pointless reasoning with someone who will not listen to sense.
Don't cross the bridge until you come to it.
Don't deal with anticipated problems until they become realities.
Let bygones be bygones
Life is too short to worry about past disagreements
Charity begins at home
Look after your own interests first.
Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
Don't be overconfident
The child is the father of the man
The child's character gives insight into the type of adult he will become.
