  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Too many cooks spoil the broth
    A rolling stone gathers no moss
    Familiarity begets contempt.
    All is not gold that glitters.
    Perseverence wins success.
    A stitch in time save nine
    He who laughs last, laughs best
    A little pot is soon hot
    A penny saved is a penny gained
    A straw best shows how the wind blows
    A lie has no legs.
