  1. Proverbs Collected Locally

    Share Share Post
    The man with the money is taken to the room
    Hunger is good kitchen (sauce)
    A small leak sinks a great ship
    Money makes the mare go
    Do not throw out the dirty water until you get in the clean
    He that loves dainties proves a beggar
    Beware of little expenses
    Laziness is a heavy burden
    Do not count your chickens till they are hatched
    You never miss the water till the well runs dry
    The bad weed grows fast
    Charity begins at home
    Beauty is only skin deep but virtue goes to the bone
    Honesty is the best policy
    Man proposes but God disposes
    The bread you break is the bread that will come back
    Good goods in small parcels
