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
Marry a woman from the mountain and you marry the mountain itself.
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.

Old Sayings of the District

It's a bad that doesn't favor somebody.
It is too late to sharpen the sword when the drum beats for battle.
Never crow until you are out of the woods.
There is never smoke without fire
