  2. Old Proverbs

    Old Proverbs 22/6/1938.
    After a storm comes a calm. More haste less speed. Fast binding fast finding. Hills look green far away. Empty vessels make the most noise. All that glitters is not gold. The man on the fence is always the best hurler. One watching is better than two working. A penny for your thoughts. Hail fellow well met. Foreign hills look green far away. The early bird catches the early worm
