  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Do not try to please everybody or you will please nobody.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Leave well enough alone.
    Do to others as you would like them to do to you.
    If you want a thing well done do it yourself.
    God helps those who help themselves.
    Never return evil for good.
    One good turn deserves another.
    Hills are green far away.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
