They say that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush and that all that glitters is not gold. But you know what? As you make your bed, so you must lie in it because, if you don't cut your coat according to your cloth, it will be no use cring over spilt milk later. Do you know what I mean?

Proverbs - Part I
- All that glitters is not gold > Wach out about the appearances! They can be deceptive!You should not judge the value of things just looking them.
Example: This woman looks like a lady but in fact she is very rude. She is a proof that all that glitters is not gold.
- As you make your bed, so you must lie in it > You are responsible for each consequence of your own actions.Even if they are great or unpleasant.
Example: You were not a good employee. That's why you are unemployed. It is your fault because as you make your bed, so you must lie in it.
- Barking dogs seldom bite > People who often shout in a loud voice or threaten you are not really fear.
Example: Don't be afraid of her loud voice! Barking dogs seldom bite.
