- Old Sayings.
Clean meat never fattened a pig.
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
An old saying and a true one you cannot take breeks of a Kiltie.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Live old horse and you will get oats.
Its not all gold that glitters.
Far off hills are green but near hand ones are too often seen.
A new broom sweeps well but an old one knows the corners best.
The cows eat grass and leave the stones.
Whats good for the child is not good for the nurse.
More haste less speed.
You haven't hands to work in a mire moss.
Its not the hen that cackles most that lays the biggest egg.(continues on next page)- Collector
