- There are many proverbs common in this district such as the following.
Make hay while the sun shines
Help the lame dog over the ditch.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Hills are green far away.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
All that glitters is not gold.
Better late than never.
The early bird catches the early worm.
Never put off until to-morrow what you can do to-day.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
It is never too late to mend.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
One good turn deserves another.
The day of the wind is not the day of the scollop.
The more hurry the less speed.
It's a bad wind that does not favour someone.
