Proverbs

 El movimiento se demuestra andando. Actions speak louder than words / voice

 El muerto al hoyo y le vivo al bollo.Dead men have no friends. 

 El mundo es de los audaces.Faint heart never won fair lady. 

 El mundo es un pañuelo. (It’s a) Small world! 

El que hace la paga. You’ve made bed, (and) now you’ll have to / you must lie in it. 

El que hurta / roba al / a un / otro ladrón tiene cien años de perdón. It’s no crime to steal from a thief. 

 El que la sigue la consigue.If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. 

El que madruga coge la oruga.The early bird catches the worm.
