\nTanto monta, monta tanto: It\u2019s as broad as it is long
\nSiempre llueve sobre mojado: It never rains, it pours
\nNo por mucho madrugar, amanece m\u00e1s temprano: Everything will happen in its own time
\nMucho ruido y pocas nueces: All mouth and no trousers
\nTan cierto como dos y dos son cuatro: As sure as eggs
\nDonde hay hambre, no hay pan duro: Beggars can’t be choosers
\nM\u00e1s vale ma\u00f1a que fuerza: Brain is better than brawn
\nLa prudencia es la madre de la ciencia: Discretion is the better part of valour
\nEl que la sigue la consigue: If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again
\nEl mundo es un pa\u00f1uelo: It’s a small world
\nM\u00e1s vale estar s\u00f3lo que mal acompa\u00f1ado: Solitude is better than bad company
\nEn boca cerrada no entran moscas: You are better off keeping quiet and minding your own business<\/p>\n

\nPaul: Estoy de vacaciones. \u00bfY t\u00fa?
\nSara: Yo me mud\u00e9 aqu\u00ed hace dos a\u00f1os. Guau.. \u00a1el mundo es un pa\u00f1uelo!
\nPaul: S\u00ed, es verdad. \u00bfY c\u00f3mo te va la vida?
\nSara: Pues bien. Por fin he conseguido ganarme la vida vendiendo mis cuadros y mis esculturas.
\nPaul: Me alegro mucho.
\nSara: S\u00ed, lo he pasado mal. Pero ya sabes, el que la sigue la consigue.
\nPaul: S\u00ed, eso es. \u00bfY sigues saliendo con Arturo?
\nSara: No. Me dej\u00f3 por otra. Una t\u00eda que era una imb\u00e9cil. Pero mira, me ayud\u00f3 a darme cuenta de lo ciega que hab\u00eda estado. Ten\u00edas toda la raz\u00f3n cuando me dijiste que Arturo no me merec\u00eda. Ahora estoy feliz. M\u00e1s vale sola que mal acompa\u00f1ada.
\nPaul: S\u00ed, bueno. Me alegro de que hayas abierto los ojos y de que seas feliz.
\nSara: S\u00ed. Bueno \u00bfc\u00f3mo est\u00e1s t\u00fa? \u00bfQu\u00e9 es de tu vida?
\nPaul: Pues nada. Ya no vivo en Londres, me echaron del trabajo por hablar mal del jefe. Encontr\u00e9 un trabajo muy bueno en Edimburgo y me mud\u00e9 all\u00ed.
\nSara: Ya no hablas mal de tu jefe \u00bfno?
\nPaul. No, aprend\u00ed la lecci\u00f3n. En boca cerrada no entran moscas.
\nSara: S\u00ed, eso es. Oye estoy pensando que\u2026 \u00bfnos tomamos un caf\u00e9 y luego te ense\u00f1o Madrid?
\nPaul: S\u00ed, venga vamos.<\/p>\n
