  1. Old Sayings

    April showers brings forth May flowers.
    Laugh and the world laughs with you.
    Weep and you weep alone.
    Feast and your halls shall be crowded.
    Fast and the world goes by.
    Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
    The longest way round is the shortest way home.
    After a storm there comes a calm.
    Better late than never.
