- Proverbs are wise old sayings, which teach us useful little lessons. Every country has its own Proverbs.Here are a few Proverbs, which are used in this district:-

Better be a coward for five minutes, than a corpse all your life
He who goes a borrowing goes a - sorrowingIts a long road without a turnAn hour in the morning is worth two in the eveningNever sell your hen of a rainy dayHe who laughs best laughs lastPrevention is better than a cureBetter be sure than sorry
Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.(continues on next page)
