Old Sayings of the District

A good woman is better than a fortune
Hills are green far away.
Prevention is better than cure
Saturday's wash is Sunday's slosh

If you have only a goat be in the middle of the fair.
Blood is thicker than water.
Deep waters run smoothly
You never miss the water until the well runs dry.
