  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    It is too late to lock the stable door when the steed is stolen.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    A new broom sweeps clean but the old one knows the corners best.
    Far off fields look green.
    Never sell your hen on a rainy day.
    It is an ill wind that does not blow someone good.
    Penny wise and pound foolish.
