Blog #2: Proverbs

I really enjoyed reading your blogs and comments last week!  Keep up the good work.

Read the proverbs below (from the grammar book Focus on Grammar 4).  Respond to them in any way you'd like to.  You might comment on one or more that are meaningful to you.  Do you have life experience that matches these proverbs?  Do you have similar proverbs in your culture?  How do they compare?  Write 2-3 good paragraphs.

1. Rome wasn't built in a day.
2. He ran away from the rain and was caught in a hailstorm.
3. Silence was never written down.
4. Never promise a fish until it's caught.
5. Stars are not seen by sunshine.
6. Write the bad things that are done to you in sand, but write the good things that happen to you on a piece of marble.
7. Skillful sailors aren't made by smooth seas.
8. A good year is known by its spring.
9. Knowledge is like a garden: if it is not cultivated, it cannot be harvested.
10. Great trees are envied by the wind.
11. The night is dark, but the apples are counted.
