    Proverbs.
    There are a great many proverbs in our district and the following are some of them.
    Time and tide wate for no man.
    There is many a slip twist the cup and the lip.
    Bright words can never die
    A stitch in time saves nine
    Too many cooks spoils the broth.
    Too heads are better than one
    Never leave off till tomorrow what you can do to day
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Far off fields look green
