  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    These are all the proverbs I have heard locally.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Look before you leap.
    Be just before being generous.
    Think before you speak.
    Cruelty seldom needs courage.
    A little goes a long way.
    Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves.
    A good beginning is half the work.
