- A good woman is better than a fortune
Hills are green far away.
Prevention is better than cure
Saturday's wash is Sunday's slosh
Marry a woman from the mountain and you marry the mountain itself.
If you have only a goat be in the middle of the fair.
Blood is thicker than water.
Deep waters run smoothly
You never miss the water until the well runs dry.- Collector

There is never smoke without fire(continues on next page)
