- A proverb is a wise old saying. There are a great number of proverbs used locally namely, "Acts speak louder than words"
Empty vessels make he most sound.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Cleanliness is next to godliness.
Honesty is the best policy
Make hay while the sun shines
A little pot is soon hot
A watchpot is long to boil
A red chimney a hot house.
Rome was not built in a day.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
Better late than never.- Collector
