    A closed mouth catches no flies.
    Paper never refused ink
    Beg from a begger and you never will be rich
    A wilful waste makes a woeful want.

  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    One man may lead a horse to the river but twenty wouldn't make him drink
    A rolling stone gather's no moss
    Birds of a feather flock together.
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    The slow hound is often the lucky one.
    Make the hay while the sun shines.
    A person's mouth often broke his nose.
    It is a good horse that is able to bring his own load.
    A shut mouth catches no flies.
