  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Things that are got dishonest go badly.
    Many a good father reared a bad son.
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    The thing that is bought dear is often sold cheap.
    A shut mouth is like a fortified town.
    It was often a person's mouth broke his nose.
    The windy day is not the day for the scallop.
    A new brush sweeps clean but it takes the old one to sweep the corners.
