  1. Old Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Spend and God will send. Spare and God don't care.
    Far off God sends.
    One man's meat is another man's poison.
    As the old cock crows the young cock learns.
    A forgetful head often puts a walk on the legs.
    Great minds think alike.
    Slow but sure.
    Hurry died and lazy buried him.
    The more hurry the less speed.
    After a storm comes a calm.
