  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A long threatening comes at last.
    It is hard to beat the old saying
    When it rains it pours
    The more the merrier.
    Where there is an 'if; there's a want, and where there is no tooth, there's a mouth.
    Many men have many minds.
    He who looks not before often finds himself behind.
    Borrowed garments always fit badly.
    Laughter is the best and cheapest medicine of all.
    A sparrow on the window sill appears as big as an eagle high in the sky.
