  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Those who live in glass houses, should not throw stones.
    Far away fields look green.
    All that glitters is not gold.
    The rotten twig cracks first.
    The work which you can do to day put off not until tomorrow.
    Don't count your chickens until they are hatched.
    There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.
    A bad shearer always finds fault with his hook.
