One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men — his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

English proverbs
Guess the meaning of...
A barking dog never bites
When there's a will, there's a way
Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise
The early bird catches the worm
An apple a day keeps the doctor away!
