  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Go to bed with the lamb and rise with the bird.
    A word in the court is worth a pound in the purse.
    The help of God is nearer than the door.
    A good run is better than a bad stand.
    Where there are women there is talk.
    One cannot put an old head on young shoulders.
    And empty sack wont stant.
    Sleep is a sister to death
    Half a loaf is better than no bread
    You must learn to walk before you run
    Dont throw stones to swine
    The world wouldn't make a race-horse out of an ass.
