(40 years) - Proverbs and Sayings
Born with a silver spoon in his mouth,
Honest is the best policy.
Set a thief to catch a thief.
All is not gold that glitters.
He who laughs last laughs longest.
Fair promises break no bones.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
You can't see the tree because of the wood.
Penny wise - pound foolish.
Beg from a beggar and you'll never grow rich.
Better late than never.
The middle of the road has no ditch.Written by
