    Old Proverbs.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Better late than never.
    The hen that cackles the loudest lays the smallest egg.
    Together we stand,divided we fall.
    Send a goose round the world and it will come back a goose.
    It's a young pig that wouldn't hoke.
    It's a long lane that has no turning.
    Between two stools you'll come to the ground.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
