  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A straw on a hen's tail means a visitor.
    The younger the chicken the sweeter the picking.
    You cannot get blood out of a turnip.
    Before the cross the street use your eyes use your ears use your feet.
    A good run is better than a bad stand.
    It's never too late to learn.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    One good turn deserves another.
    The best hurler is always on the ditch.
    Every straw makes a barth.
