We grow too soon alt, und too late schmart. --Pennsylvania Dutch
(Should be "Pennsylvania Deutsch," actually, shouldn't it?)
I've seen this countless times in cheap touristy booklets of "PA Dutch" or "Amish" sayings, yet I've never heard a genuine Pennsylvania Dutchman/woman actually say it
Concur in every particular. Does it have a more-than-apocryphal history, or is it perhaps just another Urban Legend?
