  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    April bring forth May;s flowers.
    Health is better than wealth. Better late then never.
    There are as good fish in the sea as ever were caught.
    The person who talks most works least.
    Don't be swift to speak nor slow to learn.
    Cows across the sea have long horns.
    It is not easy to put a wise head on young shoulders.
    Only for only, the sky would fall.
