proverbs reflecting geographical location of the country

Britain geographically is an island country and people’s life is closely related to the sea, navigation and the sea products. As a result, numerous proverbs related to this sphere have appeared: Little leaks sink the ship; The sea refuses no river; A smooth sea never makes a skilful mariner; He who would catch fish must not mind getting wet; The sea has fish for every man; Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass; Hoist sail when the wind is fair; It is a silly fish that is caught twice with the same bait; All is fish that comes to the net; The best fish swim near the bottom; Fish where the fish are.
