  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A hungry eye sees far.
    Its an ill wing that blows nobody good.
    Willful waste, makes woeful want.
    A rolling stone, gathers no moss.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    A half, a loaf is better than no bread.
    The far off fields are green.
    You can't take wool of a goat.
    The longest way round is the shortest way home.
