  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A bad workman quarrels with his tools.
    When the cat is out the mouse is dancing
    A rainbow in the morning is the shephard's warning and a rainbow at night is the shepherd's delight.
    none but the brave can face the fare
    A stitch in time saves nine
    It is better to go to bed supperless than rise in debt.
    Health is better than wealth
    The help of God is nearer than the door
    There is no fireplace like your own fireplace
    Money burns a hole in your pocket until it is gone.
