- "Stitch in time saves nine.
There was a woman one time who was going for the train and she thought she would be late, it was raining and she forgot her umbrella, "Well" said she "the more hurry the less speed", but it was only a story and ever since, that proverb is repeated when a person is in a hurry.
Another old saying that was said about a woman who was called "Clottie", who used to be always washing and never clean and when a person is always washing people say, "You are like Clottie everyday washing and no day clean".
