  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A wet and windy may fills the haggard with corn +hay.
    A well is never missed until it is dry.
    The newer the church the farther from God.
    Till may is out cast not a clout.
    Half an hour too soon is better than half a minute too late.
    An apple a day keeps the Doctor away.
    If the cat lies in the sun in February she will creep to the hearthstone in March.
    A burnt child dreads the fire.
    A closed mouth catches no flies.
    No rose without a thorn but it takes a rose to cover the weeds.
