  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Too late to spare when all is spent.
    A service not asked for, neither God nor man is thankful for it.
    Do not lose the sheep for a half-penny worth of tar.
    Nobody is wise until something goes against him.
    It is never too late to mend.
    Too late to back the stable door when the steed is stolen.
    Children and fools might keep away from edge tools.
    One advice bought is worth two advices grátis.
    If you go to the Court, leave your soul at home.
