  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Too many cooks spoil the broth
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A little pot is soon hot.
    God is good and Jack is working
    Look before you leap.
    Kind hearts are happy.
    Constant drop wears a hole.
    Fortune favours the bravest.
    Better late than never.
    Pride will have a fall.
    Doing nothing doing ill.
    March many weathers.
    Great barkers seldom bite.
    Patience is a virtue.
    A quenched fire is easy lit.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
