  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Never put off until to morrow what you can do to day.
    A straw best shows what way the wind blows.
    When it rains it pours.
    Empty vessels makes the greatest noise
    What ever man has done man may do.
    Constant washing wears away stone.
    Where there is a will there is a way
    Many hands make light work.
    People in glass houses can't throw stones.
    A shut mouth catches no flies
    A man's mind is his kingdom
    Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    When the cat is out the mouse can play.
