  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Half a loaf is better than no bread.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the nest.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    Its an ill wind that blows nobody good.
    Say nothing and nobody will repeat it.
    When the cat is away the mice can play.
    Like Father, like son.
    Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise,
    A good beginning s half the work.
