  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    "Many a gloomy morning rose to be a fine day". This is said to parents to console them when their children are not very promising.
    When a child inherits any special talent or the reverse from his parents, people then say, "It is not off the ground he picked it."
    When a man or woman is praised for any special gift or talent he may possess the proverb, "What comes by nature costs no money," is quoted.
