  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    A stitch in times saves nine.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
    A loaf in the hand is worth two in the van.
    Don't trouble troubles till trouble troubles you.
    All's well that ends well.
    One good turn deserves another.
    Two heads are better than one.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    Many hands make labour light.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    Look before you leap.
    Time and tide wait for no man.
