  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Sow in Spring to reap in harvest.
    There's no rose without a thorn.
    It is better to bend than to break.
    It's better late than never.
    Lose the sheep for a halfpenny worth of tar.
    Saying and doing are two things.,
    The longest way round is the shortest way home.
    After the storm comes a calm.
    One good turn deserves another
    Hail fellow well met.
    Keep a firm grip on your home steeds.
    Laugh and the world laughs with you
