- Proverbs
Live horse, and you will get grass.
The longest way round, the shortest way home.
Saying and doing are two different things.
After a storm comes a calm.
Is is better to be sure than sorry.
Is is to go to bed supperless than rise in debt.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A bird in your hand is worth two in a bush.
Plough deep while sluggards sleep, and you will have corn to sell, and you will have corn to keep.
He watches him like a eat would watch a mouse.
Set beggarman an horse back and he will ride out the devil.
A penny for your thoughts.
A friend in need is a fiend indeed.
Think before you act.
Look before you leap.
An empty barn needs no roof.
Better late than never.
Its as good to be out of the world is out of the fashion.
Its hard for an empty bag to stand upright.
