  1. Folklore - Old Sayings

    Share Share Post
    Work begun is half done. Wise-men or fools can not work without tools.
    Laugh and the world laugh's with you. Weep and you weep alone. Feast and your halls are crowded. Seek and you shall fined. A bird in your hand is better than two in the bush.
    One mag-pie is for a letter. Two for luck. Three for a marrige, and four for a birth.
    If two people meet often on the same say, they say I hope we will meet in heaven.
    If you are going on a journey and meet a woman first you will have bad luck.
