  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A short horse is easily curried.
    He that lies late in bed will trot all day.
    The early bird catches the worm.
    A rainy May, and a windy June, makes the farmer whistle a merry tune.
    Beauty never boils the pot.
    He that slings mud is losing ground.
