  1. Proverbs

    Wag bush wag and I'll wag with the bigger the frost the greater the thaw. A penny for your thought. The sight of you is good for sore eyes. Better late than never. After a storm comes a calm. It is as black as foals coat. What would you expect from a cow but a kick. New brooms sweeps well but the old one kens the corners best.
    Early birds catch the worms. That day's as cold as as a stepmother's breath. A stitch in time saves nine.
