- There are a lot of proverbs namely:
Better late than never.
Come day go day God send Sunday
Sew while on your back and laziness will never lack.
A doctor in time saves life
Have your want as do without it.
Always when you are in a hurry take your time.
Keep your shop and it will keep you.
Experience teaches in a dear school.
Better be sure than be sorry.
A misty morning brings forth a Summer's day.
A wet night brings a dry morning.
A dancing priest, a whistling woman and a crowing hen should always be left at a four road crossroad and never brought in.
Every little makes muckle.
Waste not want not.
Smooth waters run deep.(continues on next page) - Collector
