- These are Proverbs I collected in the district.
A stitch in time saves nine is said to have been the oldest proverb.
There is no fire place like our own.

Buy a dear thing and you'll have a good thing. Buy a cheap thing and you'll have a bad thing.
The breeding breaks out the through the eyes of the cat. A word in the court is better than a pound in your purse. Listen to the sound of the river and you'll get fish.
A good beginning is half the battle. There is always a good deal to do round the corner. If you are wrong regret it, if you are wronged forget it. A rolling stone gathers no moss. Work is better than talk.
The early bird catches the worm. A friend in never known till needed. You cannot count your chickens until they are hatched. After a storm comes a calm. There is as good fish in sea as ever was caught.(continues on next page) - Collector
