  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Look before you leap.
    An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
    This world wont make racehorses of asses.
    The road to a friend's house is never long.
    A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    A half a loaf is better than no bread.
    The nicest looking woman has not always the most sense.
    A new broom sweeps clean.
    A watched pot never boils.
    What you never gain you never lose.
    Never judge a book by the cover.
    Chips of the same block.
