  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Plough deep while sluggards sleep
    And you shall have corn to sell and to keep.
    Vessels large may venture more
    but little boats should keep near ashore.
    Never leave till tommorrow what you can do today.
    Fools build houses and wise men live in them.
    Children and fools should not handle edged tools
    When the blackbird sits on a bare thorn
    you may sell your cow and by corn.
    Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
    An ounce of example is worth a ton of advice.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    It is a long road that his no turn.
    It is sad hearth (heart (M.J.H.)) that never rejoices
    God makes the back for the burden.
