- Proverbs.
Honesty is the best policy. Its a long lane than has not a turn.
As God made them he matched them.
As a man lives he shall die. Hunger is the best sauce. A hungry man sees far.
Begin well and end better.
Children and chickens must always be picking. Eggs badly boiled are good things spoiled. Preventation is better than cure. The sweetest rose possesses the sharpest thorn. Haste makes waste. When the hand is clean it needs no screen. There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.
