  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Strike the iron while its hot.
    Debt is the worst kind of poverty,
    Empty vessels make most sound,
    Fools learn nothing from wise men but wise men learn much from fools,
    He that plays before hand has his work behind,
    It is late to spare when all is spent,
    No pains no gains,
    A wrinkled purse is wrinkled face,
    As you brew you bake,
    A man will never change his mind if he has no mind to change,
    Fortune favours fools,
    He that has a wish for his supper goes to bed hungry,
    A glutton lives to eat, a wise man eats to live.
    Throw no good money after bad,
