  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush.
    All is well that ends well.
    A merry heart goes all the way, a sad one but a mile.
    Any fool can criticize.
    Never judge the book by the cover.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Better late than never.
    Long threatening comes at last.
    Look before you leap.
    Many hands makes light work.
    A dirty grate makes dinner late.
    The longest way round is the shortest way home.
    It's a long lane that has no turn.
    After a storm comes a calm.
