  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Look before you leap.
    Mind the pennies, and the pounds will mind themselves.
    A stitch in time saves nine
    A bird in a cage is as good as two in a bush.
    Spare the can and spoil the child
    Do not do tomorrow what you can do today
    A bad weed grows fast.
    All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy.
    An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    A miss is as good as a mile
    One man's loss is another man's gain.
    Every man has a shadow,
    You can't kill two birds with one stone.
