01Undated
Absence cools moderate passions, and inflames violent ones.
Traditional · English / proverb

Meaning: Distance may weaken a mild attachment while making an intense one feel stronger. The contrast between cooling and inflaming describes different possible responses to absence, rather than a dependable rule for measuring love or deciding how relationships should work.

02Undated
More afraid than hurt.
Traditional · English / proverb

Meaning: What someone feared may have been worse than what actually happened. The comparison can bring perspective after an event, without deciding in advance that a concern is groundless or dismissing the distress of being frightened.

03Undated
Every one has a penny to spend at a new ale-house.
Traditional · English / proverb

Meaning: A new attraction can persuade people to find money or time they seemed unwilling to spare before. The new ale-house image comments on enthusiasm for novelty, rather than proving that everyone can afford it.

04Undated
Anger is short-lived in a good man.
Traditional · English / proverb

Meaning: The saying praises allowing anger to pass rather than keeping a grievance alive. Its moral judgement is too simple: lasting anger does not by itself show that someone lacks good character.
