  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    The loud laugh bespeaks the vacant mind.
    An empty bag cannot stand, nor a dead cat cannot walk.
    One black beetle knows another.
    An empty pot makes the most sound,
    The darkest hour comes before dawn.
    Cows over the sea have long horns.
    Better the devil you know that the devil you do not know.
    Going from the frying pan in to the fire.
    Time and tide wait for no one.
