  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    A covetous man is ever in want
    It is hard to put an old head on young shoulders.
    Look before you leap.
    Idleness is the mother of mischief.
    An empty house is better than a bad tenant
    Long churning makes bad butter.
    A burned coal is easy kindled.
