  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Make hay while the sun shines
    All is not gold that glitters
    Where there is a will there is a way
    A good woman is better than a fortune
    Child is father to man.
    Every cloud has a silver lining
    A friend in need is a friend in need.
    A burned child dreads the fire
    Strike the iron while it is hot.
    Well begun is half done.
    A little learning is a dangerous thing.
    Fore warmed is forearmed
    The pen is mightier than the sword.
    Trifle makes perfection but perfection is no trifle
    Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
    Nothing succeeds like success.
    Easy got easy gone
    Everything comes to him who waits
    The darkest hour is before the dawn.
    The future is veiled from us in mercy that we may not despair.
