  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A stitch in time saves a nine.
    The more the hurry the less the speed.
    When the cat's away the mouse can dance.
    You will never miss the water until the well runs dry.
    After a storm comes a calm.
    Spare the pump and spoil the tyre.
    It is not the day of the storm you are to pick the scollops.
    The help of God is nearer than the doors.
    Pride always has a fall.
    An empty bag can not stand.
