Proverbs and Sayings - You Can Lead a Horse to Water But You Can't Make It Drink


Meaning – you can give others good advice or offer them good opportunities, but there is nothing you can do if they choose not to listen to your advice or take advantage of the opportunities.


  • Ken has been given countless opportunities to work in the top firms of the country, but he has turned them all down. It simply goes to show that you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.
  • Sam has access to the best doctors money can buy, but he refuses to heed any of their advice. This clearly demonstrates that you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.
