  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Catch the bear before you sell its skin.
    The race is not always to the swift.
    A wrinkled purse a wrinkled face.
    A slow fix makes sweet malt.
    An idle man tempts the devil.
    The truth never choked a man.
    Dead with tea and dead without it.
    A closed mouth and a wise head.
