  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    As you brew you must bake.
    A slow fire makes sweet malt.
    A straw best shows how the wind blows.
    An idle man tempts the devil.
    A wrinkled purse a wrinkled face.
    As the fool thinketh so the bell clinketh.
    A knave is one knave but a fool is many.
    Smooth waters run deep.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Empty vessels make most sound.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
    A penny saved is a penny gained.
    Take care of the pence and the pounds will take of themselves.
    A Glutton lives to eat; a wise man eats to live.
    A good thing when lost is valued most.
