  1. Proverbs

    A good run is better than a bad stand.
    Far away cows wear long horns.
    The world would not make a race horse out of a donkey.
    If it is not one thing it is the other.
    Live horse and you will get grass.
    If it is not a lie it is a great story.
    There never blew a wind in a wood or marsh that did not blow good to someone.
    No one ever did his best on a fine day
    Each mans story is his own.
    Beware of the rogue you need fear good men.
    The cats story is the kittens.
    No one ever went astray on the wrong side.
    The truth is not believed from a liar.
