c	r	e	s	s

e	a	g	e	r
s	c	e	n	e
s	h	r	e	d

The five familiar proverbs hidden in this square of 169 letters are: A rolling stone gathers no moss. Too many cooks spoil the broth. A live dog is more to be feared than a dead lion. You cannot eat your cake and have it. Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war.
