  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Far away cows wear long horns.
    One good turn deserves another.
    When you go to Rome do as Rome does.
    He or she is too sweet to be wholesome.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Its bad wind does not blow fair for some one.
    Its a bad lane has'nt a turn.
    Live horse until you get grass.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Tell me your company and I will tell you what you are
    Lose an hour in the morning and you will be all day looking for it.
