  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    An eye by the fire is worth two about the house.
    You can't knock blood out of a turnip.
    If the cap fits you wear it.
    Keep you house and you house will keep you.
    You will never miss the water until the well runs dry.
    As the tree is, so is the fruit.
    Like father like son.
    One fool makes many.
    He who talks most works least.
