  1. Other Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    All that glitters is not gold
    The bigger the beast the bigger the fall
    The nearer the bone the sweeter the meat.
    The nearer the rock the sweeter the grass
    Once paid, never craved
    Beauty is only skin deep
    Never say die till you are dead
    While there's life there's hope
    There's some hope from the ocean but none from the grave
    After a storm there comes a calm
    Every crow thinks its own crow the whitest
    God never made a mouth that He didn't provide for.
