- Old Sayings
The longest round is the shortest way home.
Seeing is believing.
Dont judge the book by the cover.
It is hard to put an old head on young shoulders.
Lie with the lamb and rise the bird.

Work is better than talk.
The man in the ditch is the best hurler.
Empty vessels make most sound.
On their merits modest men are dumb.
Keep the main road and you are safe.(continues on next page)
