  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    It never rains but it pours.
    Birds of a feather flock together.
    One good turn deserves another.
    A bad trades-man always faults his tools.
    Where there is an "if" there is a want.
    Only for something the sky would fall.
    You have a head and so has a pin.
    As contrary as the armful of cats.
