  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    He wouldn't fight his way through a paper bag. It went in one ear and out in the other. Enough is as good as a feast. Half a loaf is better than no bread. Every man to his own taste. Beauty is only skin deep. A little learning is a dangerous thing. Fine feathers make fine birds. He could not hold a match to the other man. He wasn't nearly as good as the other man. It was like a red rag to a bull.
