- Here are a few Proverbs,
Rome was not built in a day
A stitch in time saves nine
Good manners are attractive
Empty vessels make most sound
All that glitters is not gold.
Where there's a will there's a way
God helps those who help themselves
A liar need have good memory
Health is better than wealth
Rejoice not at another's ruin
A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush
Put a begger on horseback and he'll ride to the devil
Keep not what is not your own
No noble task was ever easy
It's never too late to learn
Idleness is the key beggary
Laziness is a heavy load
Barking dogs never bite
Young a gambler, old a beggar
One good turn deserves another(continues on next page)- Collector
