  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
    Empty vessels make most sound.
    ''Love many, trust few, always paddle your own canoe.''
    He is a proud horse that will carry his own oats.
    The used key is always bright.
    Small dogs carry long tails.
    When poverty comes in the door, love flies out through the window.
    We never miss the water until the well runs dry.
    God is nearer than the door.
