  1. Old Saying

    Share Share Post
    The man on the ditch is the best hunter
    A stitch in time saves nine
    Never trust a July sky
    Better and better still
    I find a man to be old with youthful mind
    The nature brakes out ever in the eyes of a cat
    One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning
    Extravagance in youth brings want in old age
