  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    It is better to be a half an hour to early than a half a minute to late.
    The most hurry the less speed.
    They always taste who never drink
    The always talk who never drink
    It is better late than never.
    A good character it better than great fortune.
    A man can lead a horse to the water's brink, but a hundred men could not make him drink.
    An excuse is as near to a woman as her apron.
    A lady's mind is like a flower that buds and fades in every hour
    Between two stools you come to the ground.
