  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    While the grass is growing, the house is starving.
    Home truths for home or muddle defeated.
    Never put anything on the long finger.
    The nearer the bone the sweeter the meat.
    Virtue is the fairest of all, vice is the most hurtful of all.
    Too much bed makes a dull head.
    A blunt knife shows a wife.
    Knowledge, makes humble
