  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    The early bird catches the worm
    Give him an inch & he'll take a mile
    Eating the calf in the cow's belly.
    Cutting off your nose to spite your face
    Enough's as good as a feast
    Don't throw out the dirty water till the clean water is within.
    Every old shoe gets an old stocking
    [Cat after?] kind
    Kind father for him
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Edge is no delay
