    (continued from previous page)
    There is never smoke without fire.
    Smooth waters run deep.
    There are hopes from the ocean but none from the grave.
    A little help is worth a lot of pity.
    Many hands make light work.
    Always help a lame dog over the stile.
    What is home without a mother.
    There is no place like home.

  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Never choose a book by the cover.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    The truth can be blamed, but can't be shamed.
    It's a long lane has no turning.
    Never buy a pig in a bag.
    You can't put an old head on a young body.
