- The old people had a lot of old sayings and proverbs. Here are some I got.1 Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
2 It takes the swallows to make a summer.
3 If is not the gift but the given.
4 They are good that mends.
5 It is a long road that has not a turning.
6 Its the early birds gets the first worm.
7 There is no rose without a thorn
8 Your pocket is your friend.
9 What ever you want done do it yourself.
10 If you don't say a good word never say a bad one.
11 As you sew you will reap.
12 What you give you will get
13 He who has much gets more.
14 All is well that ends well.
15 Its no use crying over spilt milk
16 A good word never broke a persons mouth.(continues on next page)
