  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    The best hurler is always on the ditch.
    Rock the cradle in the deep.
    Trees bloom but not forever.
    Wash your feet and walk again.
    The juice of a cow is good alive or dead.
    Killed with tea and killed without it.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Powder and paint makes the devil of a Saint.
    The is never smoke without fire.
