    The following are a list of old sayings or proverbs used by people around here.
    March many weathers, One swallow never made a Summer. Seldom comes better, Live horse and you will get grass.
    Its a long lane has not turn. Birds of a feather flock together. Fine feathers make fine birds. There is many a slip twist the cup and the lip. Everything that shines is not gold. No place like home. A new broom sweeps clean. Youth does not come twice. What is one man's meat is another mans poison. Three removes is worse than a fire. The longest way round is the shortest way home. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do to day.
