Old Proverbs
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
All is not gold that glitters.
A stitch in time saves nine .
Fools build houses and wise live in them.
Look before you leap.
Good boundary makes good friends.
Children and fools should be kept away from sharp tools.
Batchlor's wives and old maids children are always well trained.
Plough deep ,while sluggards sleep and you will have corn to sell and to keep.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy,wealthy and wise.
As the old cock crows the young cock learns.
Wise men learn much from fools but fools learn nothing from wise men.
