      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.  :smile:

      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.

      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.  :smile:

      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.

      There are so many beautiful and wise Spanish sayings. I love to find and then translate them in my own words. 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.
