  1. Béaloideas - Old Sayings

    Share Share Post
    There are none so blind as who wont [sic] see.

    The sight of you is good for sore eyes.

    Facts are stubborn things.

    After a storm comes calm.

    Saying and doing are two things.

    He who slings mud is losing ground

    Set a beggar on horseback and hell outride the devil.

    The longest way round is the shortest way home.
