British Proverbs

Absence is the mother of disillusion.
Adversity is the touchstone of virtue.
Far from court, far from care.
If the dog is not at home, he barks not.
Ill comes often on the back of worse.
It is easy to bear the misfortunes of others.
It should be better to blame friends at a distance.*
Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.
Long absence and guilt can change a friend.*
Men are best loved furthest off.
Misfortune is not that which can be avoided, but that which cannot. (Chinese)
Misfortunes come of themselves.
Misfortunes hasten age.
No man better knows what good is than he who has endured evil.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Present to the eye, present to the mind.
Salt water and absence wash away love.
Seldom seen, soon forgotten.
Sweet are the uses of adversity. (William Shakespeare (1564-1616))
The absent are always in the wrong.
The absent party is always to blame.
The absent saint gets no candle.
The wind in one’s face makes one wise.
Those far, far away are seldom seen for what they really are.*
To be good tends to give absence later on.*
To dead men and absent there are no friends left.
