  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
    Woe to the heart that music fails to rise.
    He who loves the danger shall perish there in.
    A small leak will sink a great ship who dainties love shall beggars prove.
    Its an old saying and a true one as long as the pitcher goes to the well it will get broken at last.
    Its never too late to mend
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Its a long road that has no turning.
    Whiskey when your'e sick makes you well and whiskey makes you sick when youre.
    The darkest hour before the dawn.
