    Business first and pleasure after.
    No legacy is as good as honesty.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    Beware of bad companions.

  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Hunger is the best sauce.
    Birds of a feather flock together.
    An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
    May brings flocks of little lambs.
    One good turn deserves another.
    Years bring many changes.
    All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
    Death comes like a thief in the night.
