  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Many hands make light work.
    A good name is better than great riches.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Make the hay while the sun shines.
    Rome was not built in a day.
    A sleeping fox catches no poultry.
    The eye of a master will do more work than both of his hands.
    You cannot eat your cake and have it too.
    Always taking out of the meal tub and never putting in soon comes to the bottom.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    He that by the plough would thrive himself must either hold or drive.
