  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Tweet
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    Its better to rise early than to sit up late.
    Time and tide wait for no man.
    Lie with the lamb and rise with the lark.
    An empty sack doesn't stand.
    Sly runs the water when the brook is deep.
    Empty vessels make the greatest sound.
    Two can keep a secret when one is away.
    Waste not want not.
    Time is a good storyteller.
    Silence is golden.
    Age brings wisdom.
