- Old Proverbs
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
The rolling stone gathers no moss.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Closed mouth catches no flies.
Lifes real wealth consists of little things.
Provide for the worst the best will save itself.
A soul filled with vanity has no room for charity.
A false profession will mean no better than a wise fool.
A man with small views imagines himself the biggest thing in creation.
Many a strong heart has been broken by a gently top of charity.
Real greatness does not depend on the things we do, but on the mind with which we do them.
