    (continued from previous page)
    The help of God is nearer than the door
    Time and tide waits for no man
    Too many cooks spoil the broth
    Vice brings shame and sorrow
    Where there is smoke there is fire
    Youth is bold but age is wise

  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A man's manners are in brass his virtues are in water
    A burnt child dreads the fire
    An empty house is as good as a bad tenant
    A friend in need is a friend in deed
    After the storm comes the calm
    An empty sack cannot stand against the wall
    Better big than small
    Better to be sure than sorry
    Better late than never
    Ginger for sport
    Better for he that he never was born that pars his nails on Sunday morn
    Eileen Tracey
