  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Dont put new wine into old bottles,
    The cock crows but the hens deliver the goods,
    There is no place like home,
    A closed mouth makes a wise head,
    Play the game and fear not,
    Too far East is West,
    Have it yourself or be without it,
    Small leaks sink big ships,
    There is so much bad in the best of us, and so much good in the worst of us, that it ill behoves any of us to say anything bad about the rest of us.
