  2. Old Sayings of the District

    Share Share Post
    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.
