Local Folklore - Old Sayings  [duchas:5154838]

A Stitch in time saves nine.
A bird in your hand is worth too in a bush.
Too late to spare when all is spent.
I often saw and by experience found an empty barrel makes the greatest sound.
Beware of him who stands and seems to be asleep, the smoothest of the river is often very deep.
Let the last hour be the hardest.
A faint heart never never won a fair lady.
Silks and satins often put out the kitchen fire.
When poverty comes in the door love flies out the window.
Old soldiers never die; they only fade away.
Where there is a will there is a way.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
It is a long road that has no turn.
Hills are green far away.
