  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
    All is not gold that glitters.
    The longest way around is the shortest way home.
    Stitch in time saves nine.
    Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    Two spoons in a cup mean twins
    A care on the road earns money but two in the ditch earns nothing.
    Children and chickens are always picking
    Well begun is half done.
    Grow your own fruit and save money
    Two spoons in the sugar mean a chrisening
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
    Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves
