  1. Old Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Spare the rod and spoil the child
    Silence is golden
    A steel tongue makes a wise head
    Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today
    The darkest hour is that before the dawn
    It is good to begin well but better to end well
    Time and tide wait for no man.
    A clear conscience fears no accusers
    Too many cooks spoil the soup
    Better late than never
    Nature breaks out in a cat's ear
    A watched pot never boils
    As old as Kate Kearney's cat.
    A strong as the back of a ditch
    A penny for your thoughts and two pence to mind your own business.
