  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Often a man's mouth broke his nose.
    Hard upon hard makes a bad stone wall, soft upon soft makes none at all.
    Work done on Sunday won't last until Monday.
    Long threatening comes at last.
    Think twice before you talk once.
    A man's best friend is his pocket.
