  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Draw rough and course through a silken gears and still the courseness it appears.
    This world is a wig and everyone has their heads stuck on it.
    You cannot make a silken purse out of a pig's lug.
    Money makes the mare go if she's willing or not.
    If you want to thieve you may rise at five but those that have thriven may lie till seven.
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    There are many words when spoken cause a tear to dim the eye but the saddest one of all is the little word "Good - Bye".
    A man without money goes quick through the fair.
    A house or nation does no good
