  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Far away hills are green.
    He who slings mud is losing ground.
    Too far east is west.
    The more hurry the less speed.
    Empty vessels make most sound.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Promise little and do much.
    Praise a fair day at night.
