- iv Old Sayings 1
A shut mouth catches no flies.
Dear,see and say nothing.
Dr is a good man who minds his own business.
Beggars can't bear heat.
When your hand is in the dogs mouth pull it out gently.
God never closed a gap but he opened another.
If I came from the mountain my stockings are white.
Poverty is no crime.
A good word never broke a tooth.
Work asthore from the polished boot.
Whoever yet heard the track of my tongue.
Pull up now while the organs are limber.
Every cock is stiff on his own dunghill.
Street angel, house devil.
A son is a son until you get him a wife.
A daughter is a daughter all the days of her life.
Collected by children of Dangan N.School
