    These are the commonest proverbs around here.
    The grace of God is nearer than the door.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Far off God sends.
    'Tis never too late to learn
    Beg from a beggar and you will never be rich.
    Live horse and you will get grass.
    There's not an old stocking that dont meet an old shoe.
    Happy is the bride that the sun shines on.
