  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A light heart lives long
    Better late than never.
    Charity begins at home, but it does not end there.
    A burnt child dreads the fire.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Better be nobly remembered than nobly born.
    Cows from over the sea have long horns.
    A little tastes sweet.
    Be to others kind and good.
    Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
    Contentment is better than a kingdom.
    Do noble deeds not dream them
    Doing nothing, doing ill.
    discretion in speach, is more than eloquence.
    Empty vesels make most sound
