- The old people have many sayings. They say that:
It is easier to stop the tide with a fork than to stop a woman's tongue.
It is hard to kill the bad thing.
A green Christmas is a fat church-yard
Always taking out of the meal-tub and never putting in soon comes to the bottom.
The hills are green far away.
One man's cure is another man's death.
On newyear's night all waters change in to wine.
