  1. Local Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Money makes the mare.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    It is an ill wind that blows nobody good.
    High hills grow less as we ascend them.
    To get gold you must dig deeply.
    Many hands make light work.
    Hunger is good sauce.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth
    A half loaf is better than no bread.
    One scabby sheep spoils the flock
    Rome was not built in a day
