    As small as a robin's mouth.
    As hardy as a hedgehog.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    As hard as a piper.

  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Your pocket is your friend.
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
    Killed with tea and dead without it.
    It is a long road that has no turn.
    Time will tell.
    A person's mouth often broke his nose.
    Better late than never.
    Health is better than wealth.
    It is a small wind that wouldn't bend a blade of grass.
    Marry a mountainy woman and you marry the mountain.
    You can't cut wool off a goat.
