(Known is a drop, unknown is an Ocean) கற்றது கைமண் அளவு, கல்லாதது உலகளவு

You can't teach an old dog new tricks.    ஐந்தில் வளையாதது ஐம்பதில் வளையாது

Empty vessels make the most noise.      நிறை குடம் நீர் தளும்பாது.

Face is the index of the mind                   அகத்தின் அழகு முகத்தில் தெரியும்

Look before you leap                                 ஆழம் பார்க்காமல் காலை விடாதே

Even the mighty do slip                             யானைக்கும் அடி சறுக்கும்

Think before you leap                                ஆற்றில் போட்டாலும் அளந்து போடு

All that glitters is not gold                          மி்ன்னுவதெல்லாம் பொன்னல்ல
Make hay while the sun shines                 காற்றுள்ள போதே தூற்றிக்கொள்

Size does not matter                                 கடுகு சிறுத்தாலும் காரம் குறையாது
