  2. Proverbs

    There is no feast till a roast and no torment till marriage.
    Fine feathers make fine birds.
    Praise youth and it will come.
    A windy day is no day for thatching.
    It takes a rogue to catch a rogue.
    The cleverest hens lay out.
    The darkest clouds have a silver lining.
    Two people of the same trade never agree.
    Young fools are many, but old fools are worse than any.

  3. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A little help is better than a lot of pity.
    Two heads are better than one.
    A willing mind is half the work.
    Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy and wise.
    Time is a good story-teller.
    The truth never choked a man.
