  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men.
    Better be a coward five minutes than a dead man all your life.
    Rome was not built in a day.
    It is not the people of the most talk, that do the work.
    Cows across the sea have long horns.
    Distance lends enchantment to the view.
