  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A tailor’s goose will never fly.
    Hunger is good sauce.
    Willful waste makes woeful want.
    It is a wise man that carries his coat on a dry day.
    It’s an ill wind that does not blow somebody good.
    It’s many a dark and gloomy morning comes before the sun.
