  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Nowadays people usually follow the good wisdom that is contained in the wise old sayings which were written and believed by people long ago. Here are some of the proverbs.
    Better late than never
    Too many cooks spoil the broth
    A stich in time saves nine
    Look before you leap
    It's a long lane that has no turning
    Every cloud has a silver lining
    Spare the rod and spoil the child
    Do it now
    Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day
    Hunger is good sause
