  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Tweet
    There is no hearth like your own hearth.
    Nature springs through the eyes of a cat.
    Your pocket is your best friend.
    A friend in the court is better than a pound in the purse.
    It is better to save early than late.
    The new broom sweeps clean.
    The help of God is nearer than the door.
    Truth is stranger than fiction.
    He laughs best who laughs last.
    There is no place like home.
