  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    The worst ink survives the best memory.
    Its a long lane that has no turn.
    Apples will grow again.
    Its wrong to spur a free horse.
    Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
    Too soon missed the ducks too late left them out.
    A new broom sweeps clean.
    Once bitten twice shy.
    A burnt child dreads the fire.
    Far away cows wear long horns.
    Out of sight out of mind.
    You never miss the water till the well goes dry.
    Out of the frying into the fire.
    Wilful waste makes woeful want.
