  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Strike the iron while its hot.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    For the want of a nail the shoe was lost.
    For the want of a shoe the horse was lost.
    For the want of a horse the rider was lost.
    For the want of a rider the battle was lost.
    For the want of the battle the kingdom was lost.
    And all for the want of a horse shoe nail.
