  1. Proverbs
    Eaten bread is soon forgotten Smooth water runs deep
    Suspicion haunts the guilty mind
    A closed mouth catches no flies It’s a bad wind that does not favour somebody
    The least said is the easiest mended God helps those who help themselves He laughs last who laughs best
    One person’s loss is another person’s gain
    Every fool laughs at his own folly Every dog is stiff at his own door Laugh and the world laughs with you.
    Weep and you weep alone.
