cefmac Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 One I like is "pensar en la immortalidad del cangrejo", which literally translates as "thinking about the immortality of the crab" but is used, informally and humourously, to mean daydreaming.

Trellum Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I've some: ''Mas vale tarde que nunca'' - Better late than never.''A caballo regalado no se le ve colmillo'' - You shouldn't look for defects in things that were given away to you or learn to be more grateful when someones give you something.

cecil15 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 I love the Spanish language because it is one of those languages that is easy to learn. As for my favorite quote, here it is:"Hablar bien descanza la lengua .. y salva los dientes." Which means "To speak politely is easy on the tongue, and can save the teeth."Funny, but makes sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodiann12 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 La principal causa de la melancolia es el ocio; no hay mejor remedio que la actividad. This means the main cause of melancholy is idleness; there's no better remedy than activity. I am in total agreement with this quote because I have noticed that when my mind is not pre-occupied with doing something, it's easy for me to get depressed and sad.

Here are two that I like...A buen entendedor, pocas palabras bastan.For some who understands well, less words are needed.En boca cerrada no entran moscas.Flies don't enter closed mouths.
