  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A nod from a lord, is a breakfast for a fool
    Three removes are as bad as a fire
    Don't count your chickens before they're hatched
    Far-away cows have long horns
    If you lie down with dogs, you'll rise up with fleas
    Mocking is catching
    Enough is as good as a feast
    Long threatening comes at last
    It's many a skin that youth cast
    The eye of the master can do more than both his hands
    Ill got, ill gone
