  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A knife to the floor brings a stranger to the door.
    A wise man always carries his coat.
    A pigs ear wont make mutton
    Patience is a virtue Have it if you can Its seldom in a woman but never in a man.
    An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening.
    Better late than never.
    A wet and windy May fills the haggard with corn and hay
    As a man lives so shall he die
