  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Never take a book by the cover. A good beginning is half the work. Make the hay while the sun shines. Empty vessels make most sound. It is better to be a little mean than too much at a loss. Look twice before you leap once. The bushes have ears. That means if you said anything someone would be listening. There is no use in crying over spilt milk. You would never miss the water until the well runs dry. The longer you will live the more you will learn. Do not spend your life idle.
