- It is unlucky to cut a foot or hand nail on Friday as the old verse says.Cut them on Monday, cut them for health.
Cut them on Tuesday, cut them for wealth.
Cut them on Wednesday, a new pair of shoes.
Cut them on Thursday, and you will hear some news.
Cut them on Friday, cut them for sorrow.
Cut them on Saturday, see a friend to-morrow, better for him that he never was born who cuts his nails on Sunday mor'n.- Informant

- "Where there are more horses than cows and more women than men they may be luck but God knows when.""When you see a goat you should always hit him because he is either going into mischeif or coming out of it.""When my nose is itching I am in for a row."
