  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Taking out and putting in nothing you’ll soon come to the bottom
    Bury what thou hast no need of and long the necessity
    The horse that earns the oats seldom gets it
    Bad carpenters always quarrel with their tools
    A friend in need a friend indeed
    Live horse and you’ll get grass
    Never put if until tomorrow what you can do today
    A burnt child dreads the fire
    Turn from gold thy wishful eye and do not sell what gold cannot buy
    A bird in the hand is worth two on the bush
