  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    1 Save hay while the sun shines
    2 Never depend on the beginning of a Friday or te end of a Saturday for the weather.
    3 A rainbow at night
    Is the shepherds delight
    A rainbow in the morning
    Is the shepherds warning
    4 A stitch in time saves nine
    5 It is a long road that has not a turn
    6 The long way around is the shortest way home
    7 The cat in his claws catches no mice
    8 The early bird catches the worm
    9 Idleness is a short road to misery
    10 Rising late you must gallop all day
    11 Idle hands are tempted
    12 Work ill begun is never done
