Proverbs

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

טול קורה בין עיניך.

Talk of the devil and he's sure to appear.

אל תפתח פה לשטן.

A bad workman blames his tools.

Holding a string by the two ends, is not a proverb, but an argument that Avrohom Uveynu used to try to convince G-d to change his judgment on Sedom.

He argued, if you want ultimate judgment, there will be no world.
If you want a world, you cannot have DIN.

You cannot hold the rope by both ends.

I think that the closest proverb in English is, "You can't have your cake, and eat it too".

OU you are right….

I didn't check the meaning of the proverb: You can't burn the candle at both ends…

Both of them just seem to me similar that's why I put them together…

So the meaning is:

People talk about 'burning the candle at both ends' when they mean someone is working too hard, i.e. like a candle that burns from both ends you will burn out quickly.

Saying that someone shouldn't or can't burn a candle at both ends means that they shouldn't exhaust themselves by working too hard.

יכול להיות שהמקור של אוחז את החבל בשני ראשיו מגיע מהויכוח של אברהם אבינו עם הקב"ה בקשר לסדום... יש לך מושג כמה פתגמים מגיעים מהתנ"ך והגמרא???

בקשר לפתגם שהבאת הוא מתאים לאוחז את החבל בשני ראשיו ולא לפתגם באנגלית שמשמעותו הובאה לעייל...

תודה על תשומת הלב אתקן את העניין.

ומה אעשה, אבל בראשית קדמה לדברים, ואברהם אבינו קדם למשה רבינו.

The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.

לא בהכרך להפוך לעברית..סתם כמה פרוברבס יפים..
