  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    The sight of you is good for sore eyes. There are none so blind as they that wont see. Penny for your thoughts. Hail fellow well met. Possession is eleven points of law. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Be wise to day, tis madness to defer. Cheerfulness and content are great beautifiers and famous preserves of good looks. The word of a gentleman is as good as his bond. Pleasure always knocks louder than opportunity. All who joy would win. Happiness was born a twin. A happy man or woman is better than a five pound note. An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow.
