  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A new broom sweeps clean.
    People in glass houses should not throw stones.
    Many cooks spoil the broth.
    Necessity needs no law.
    Necessity is the mother of invention.
    A half loaf is better than no bread.
    It is never too late to mend.
    Practice makes perfect.
    Beauty does not boil the pot.
    Home sweet home there is no place like home
    Work while you work and play while you play,
    That is the way to be happy and gay.
