- These are the old sayings we hear in our district.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Let every cobbler stick to his last.
Jack of all trades, master of none.
A ganging foot is aye getting.
Many ventures make a full freight.
He that travels far knows much.
Don't put all your eggs into one basket.
Have two strings to your bow.
Bonny feathers dinna aye make bonny birds.
Clothes do much to make a man.
All is not gold that glitters.
Handsome is as handsome does.
It is not the coat that makes the gentleman.
