  1. Proverbs

    there are several proverbs used in my district
    It is a long road but there is a turn in somewhere.
    Fear draws infection.
    Never leave till to-morrow what you can do today.
    A stitch in time saves explosions
    From war be aware.
    Better late than never.
    The first is the luckiest
    Blessings are won by a good deed done
    Empty vessels make most sound
    Two hands are better than one
    If you will not sow in Spring you will not reap in the Autumn.
