- ProverbsA proverb is the wisdom of many and the wit of one?
A use for everything and everything in its proper use
A place for everything and everything in it's proper place
A time for everything and everything in its proper time
As you brew, you must bake.
A slow fire makes sweet malt.
A straw, best shows how the wind blows.
An idle man tempts the devil.
A wrinkled purse, wrinkled face.
As the fool thinketh so the bell clinketh.
A knave is one knave but a fool is many
A lie has no legs.
A stitch in time saves nine
A man will never change his mind if he has no mind to change
Of little account is a fly until she gets into your eye.
Those who cannot have what they like must learn to like what they have.
Goods when lost are valued most.
A penny saved is a penny gained.
A little more breaks the horses back.
A fool may easily find more faults in anything(continues on next page)
