  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    "A shut mouth catches no flies"
    A new broom sweeps clean
    Don't make a joke unless you can take one.
    Charity begins at home, but it shouldn't end there."
    Don't burn a penny candle, looking for a halfpenny.
    An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow.
    The mill cannot grind, with the water that has passed.
