  2. Old Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Hills are green far away.
    Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
    One good turn deserves another.
    A new broom sweeps clean.
    Necessity is the mother of invention.
    Waste not, want not.
    Willful waste makes woeful want.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Win the gold before you wear it.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Two heads are wiser than one.
