  1. There are a great deal of old proverbs in this district. A good beginning is half the work.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Learning is no load.
    A word in the court is worth a pound in the purse.
    A bad worm man always quarrels with his tools.
    If you only had a puck goad be in the middle of the fair with him.
    A windy day is not the day for thatching.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
