  1. Proverbs

    Look before you leap.
    Hills are green far away.
    Practice makes perfect.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    The person who does not sow in Spring won't reap in Autumn.
    Better late than never.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A closed mouth catches no flies.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    See a pin, pick it up, all the day youll have good luck. See a pin, let it lie, you will need it before you die.
    Deep water runs smooth.
    A long threatening comes at last.
