  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Borrowed horses have hard hoofs.
    Always taking out of the meal bag, and never putting in, soon comes to the bottom.
    A rolling stone gaters no moss.
    Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves.
    A green Christmas leaves a fat churchyard
    Better late than never.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
