  1. Proverbs

    You cant whistle and chew meal at the one time
    A green Christmas makes a full graveyard
    Health is better than wealth
    All that glitters is not gold
    If March comes in like a lamb it goes out like a lion and if it comes in like a lion it goes out like a lamb
    A stitch in time saves nine
    A rolling stone gathers no moss
    This world is but a castle in the air
    Example is powerful
    Never judge a book by the cover
    What man appoints God disappoints
    Where there's a will there's a way
    Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to day
    A man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds
    Look before you leap
    Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy and wise
