1. Proverbs expressing general attitude towards life and the laws that govern life. * Early to bed and early to rise‚ makes a man healthy‚ wealthy and wise. * It’s no use locking the stable door after the horse has bolted. * Laugh and the world laughs with you‚ weep and you weep alone. * See a pin and pick it up‚ all the day you’ll have good luck; see a pin and let it lie‚ bad luck you’ll have all day. * ‘Tis better to have loved and lost‚ than never to have loved at all.

Most of the idioms do not coincide with their direct meanings but hundreds

They may live nearby‚ may go to the same school or may be doing the same work. Good friends know all about one another

Why so? Sure‚ I am the first to admit that goals are important in life‚ but if we don’t take time to look around and enjoy the journey our goals will loose their effect; they are to make us happy now. Today.
