  1. Proverbs

    Much Bark, Little Bite.
    An excuse is nearer to a woman than her apron.
    There is no smoke without fire.
    Better late than never.
    The early bird catches the worm.
    Penny wise, pound foolish.
    Where there's a fire, there's smoke, where there's a house, there's fire, where there are women, there's a "gab".
    No day like today.
    Tell not all you know.
    A hair on the head is worth two on the brush.
