  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Be old when young, that you may be young when old.
    When your neighbour's house is on fire take care of your own.
    When wines in, wits out.
    Those who live in glass-houses should'nt throw stones.
    Wisdom for learning, before you grow old,
    For learning is better than silver or gold,
    Gold is a thing that will waste away,
    But learning is a thing that will never decay.
    Little said is easy mended.
    Hear, see and say nothing.
