  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    It's the last straw that breaks the asses back.
    God never shuts one gap, but He opens another.
    God never made a mouth, but He made a bit for it.
    A full purse makes a light heart
    It's never to late to learn.
    There's as good fish in the sea, as ever was caught.
    A good beginning is half the work
    Fine is a good servant but bad master.
    The truth never choked a man.
    It's hard to get wool off a goat
