  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    He who cannot bear a joke should not make one.
    Well begun is half done.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Half an hour too soon is better than half a minute too late.
    Extravagance in youth brings want in old age.
    A good character is better than riches.
    The longest day has an end.
    Time nor times tide waits for no man.
    There's no place like home.
    Laziness is a heavy burden.
    One good trick is better than twenty bad ones.
    Every cloud has a silver lining.
    Prevention is better than cure.
    Out of the reading comes the learning.
