    There are several proverbs used in my District.
    1. Better late than never.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Slow but sure.
    It’s better frost than always raining.
    Sow in Spring reap in Autumn.
    Blessings are won by a good deed done.
    It’s a long road but there’s a turn in it somewhere.
    Never leave till tomorrow what you can do to-day.
    Empty vessels make most sound.
    Fore-warned is forearmed.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
