  1. These are the proverbs in this district.
    The early bird catches the early worm.
    All is not gold that glitters.
    Manners maketh man.
    He knows the waters best who has waded through them.
    It is not the clothes but the mind within him that makes the man.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A watched kettle never boils.
    While the cat is out the mouse can play.
    Many hands make light work.
    That would a cat's son do but kill a mouse.
    A rolling stone never gathers any moss.
    Think twice before you speak once.
    Look before you leap.
