  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    It's a long lane lane that has no turns.
    A child must creep before it walks.
    Hills are green far away.
    Constant dropping wears away stones.
    He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
    When the well s dry they know the want of water.
    Never leave off till tomorrow what you can do today.
    Better late than never.
    To late to spare when all is spent.
