  1. Folklore - Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Every hound is a pup until it hunts.
    It is hard for an empty sack stand
    It is not every day that Manus kills a bullock.
    It is not the big stones alone that build a castle.
    A word in the Court is better than a pound in a purse.
    There is no use in crying over spilt milk.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Better late than never.
