  2. Old Sayings

    Share Share Post
    It's all before you like the man with the wheel barrow.
    Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
    It's no use crying over spilt milk.
    Two birds in the hand are worth four in the bushes.
    Little apples will grow big.
    The more hurry the less speed.
    A stolen bit is sweetest.
    Don't say die till you are dead.
    An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
    A long gathering gets a wide scattering
    As hard as a stone.
    Put a beggar on horse-back and he will ride to the devil.
    Apples will grow again.
    What your eyes dont see your heart won't grieve for.
    A burnt stick is easy kindled.
    As old as Mathesula's goat.
    The more the merrier.
