  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Never spare you breakfast for your supper.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    It is too late to sharpen your tusks when the drum beats to battle.
    Its an ill wind that does not blow good for someone.
    There is hope from the ocean but there's none from the grave.
    Better late than never
    A stitch in time saves nine
    Between two stools we come to the ground
    One good turn deserves another.
