  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Better late than never.
    What is bred in the blood will break out in the bone.
    Many hands make light work.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    A penny saved is a penny gained.
    Green are the hills far away.
    Calm water runs very deep.
    It is never too late to mend.
