There is no danger that Titanic will sink. The boat is unsinkable.
Hakuna hatari ya Titanic kuzama. Meli hii haizamiki.
Kiburi hutangulia kabla ya uharibifu
na moyo wa kujivuna kabla ya maangamizi.
ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُورًا
Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu hawapendi wenye kiburi wanao jifakhiri
Qui fait le malin tombe dans le ravin
Mwerevu huanguka kwenye bonde
Сатана гордился, с неба свалился; фараон гордился, в море утопился; а мы гордимся - куда годимся?
Shetani alikuwa na kiburi, akaanguka kutoka mbinguni; Firauni alikuwa na kiburi, akazama baharini; na tunajivunia - tunafaa wapi?
The bigger they come, the harder they fall.
Kadiri wanavyokuwa wakubwa, ndivyo wanavyozidi kuanguka.
I hate to be a kicker,
I always long for peace,
But the wheel that squeaks the loudest,
Is the one that gets the grease.
Nilikuwa na Njaa sana; ilikuwa imechelewa sana; "Sufuria inayotazamwa huchemka pole pole," kama Poor Richard asemavyo.
Don't judge a book by its cover.
Appearances are deceiving.
All that glitters is not gold
高嶺の花 Hana yori dango - Dumplings over flowers
Better than never is late - The Canon's Yeoman's Tale
There was no end to it; tribunes of the commons and patricians could not subsist in the same state; either the one order or the other office must be abolished; and that a stop should be put to presumption and temerity rather late than never. - Livy, History of Rome, Book 4
जब जाति तब सवेरे
Whenever you wake up, that’s your morning
Don't close the stable door after the horse has bolted
Imagine you woke up late for a job interview. What would you do? Would you scramble to get dressed and make it to the meeting as quickly as possible? Or would you think "Forget it, it's not worth going at all now"? Next time you think "It's too late" try telling yourself "Better late than never." For example, this Proverb of the Day was posted late, but at least you're reading it now - Thanks!
