  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    He cut a stick to beat himself.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Many hands make light work.
    Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    An ounce of help is worth a pound of pity.
    After a storm comes a calm.
    Look before you leap.
    Prevention is better than cure.
    Where there is a will there is a way.
    Empty vessels make most sound.
    Idle people never prosper.
    Of two evils choose the lesser.
    Constant dropping wears a stone.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
