  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    A shut mouth catches no flies. A sleeping fox catches no prey. Absence makes the heart grown fonder.
    An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
    Prevention is better than cure.
    A galloping horse would not mind if the rider did not.
    The darkest hour comes before dawn.
    It's an ill wind blows nobody good.
    Time and tide wait for no man
    A constant drop wears a hole in a stone.
    Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
    Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies.
    The least said the easiest mended.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    After a storm comes a calm.
    When the cats away the mice can play.
    A new broom sweeps clean.
