  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A man's manners are in brass his virtues are in water
    A burnt child dreads the fire
    An empty house is as good as a bad tenant
    A friend in need is a friend in deed
    After the storm comes the calm
    An empty sack cannot stand against the wall
    Better big than small
    Better to be sure than sorry
    Better late than never
    Ginger for sport
    Better for he that he never was born that pars his nails on Sunday morn
    Eileen Tracey

  3. Proverbs

    An apple a day keeps the doctor away
    A darn is better than a hole
    A merry heart goes all the day your sad one tires in a mile
    A half a loaf is better than no bread
    Bear ye one another's burdens
