- There are a great deal of old proverbs in this district. A good beginning is half the work.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Learning is no load.
A word in the court is worth a pound in the purse.
A bad worm man always quarrels with his tools.
If you only had a puck goad be in the middle of the fair with him.
A windy day is not the day for thatching.
