  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Many hands make light work.
    Once a man and twice a child.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    A constant drop wears a stone.
    Judge not the book by the cover.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    We will not miss the water till the well goes dry.
    An apple a day keeps the doctor away
    The older the fiddle the sweeter the tune.
    Marry in May and you will rue the day.
