  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Good goods are put in small parcels.
    Two eyes are better than one.
    Keep thanks their use will come.
    Two to one kills a man and three would never bury one.
    Where there's dirt there's danger.
    If the shoe does not fit don't put it in.

    A bird in the hand is worth two on a bush.
    Complain not to him who does not pity your case.
    Love and cough cannot be hidden.
