    "Ei voi kauhalla vaatia, jos on lusikalla annettu."

    "If you are born with little spoon, you can't attack the pie, like you were born with big spoon."

    Basically if this proverb was Ostrobotnian in origin, it could explain the dilemma.

    It says here

    https://www.kirjastot.fi/kysy/mita-t...om=term/188816

    Sananlaskukirjat ovat yksimielisiä siitä, että tämä kyseinen sanonta on taltioitu Vilppulasta. Kyse on siis vanhasta suomalaisesta sananlaskusta, ei yksittäisen henkilön sanomasta. Sanonta löytyy ainakin kirjoista Sananlaskut : 15 904 sananlaskua Kansanrunousarkistosta (SKS, 2017) ja Sananlaskut. Suomalaisen kirjallisuuden seuran toimituksia 346 (SKS, 1978).

    This proverb was first recorded in Vilppula, Pirkanmaa. Now obviously Vilppula is very close to Ostrobotnia, and the fact it was first found in Vilppula doesn't necessarily have to mean its origin is de facto in Vilppula...

    So therefor I suggest this proverb actually originates in Ostrobotnia, which would also explain why so very few other quality proverbs originate in Ostrobotnia WHAM two flies one smack

    There is also another proverb: we try always to make good quality, but the result is always excellent.

    Another high quality proverb:

    Whenever Savolaxian starts to speak all responsibility is transferred to listeners.

    - Mikä ristus ny o, ku ei aharista
    - What on earth is wrong with me, I'm feeling good
    Stolen from Savolaxians or Karelians

    - Kaikkehen tottuu, paitti puukkohon seljäs ja siihenki tottuu, jos makaa vattallansa
    - You get used to everything, except the knife on your back, and even that you get used to, if you sleep on your tummy
    Stolen from Savolaxians

    - Akkaa ja kissiä pitää potkaasta aina kun muilta askarehilta joutaa; Jos ne ei tee pahaa, niin ne meinaa.
    - The wife and pussy should be kicked every time you are not too busy from other things; if they are not up to no good, they sure as hell are planning it.
    Stolen from Karelians

    - Kaukaa komioota ku kyrölääset
    - Really good looking those Kyröleans - when looking from far enough distance.
    Stolen from Vilppulaians

    - Entinen hiihtäjä nykyysin raitis!
    - Ex-cross-country-skier nowadays sober
    Stolen from Norwegians

    To educate you, here is a genetic map of Finland. Dark green dots are South Ostrobothnians, red dots above it are seaside Savolaxians, back dots (where I belong) are southern Birlkarls, purple dots around Torne river valley to the Kemi area are northern Birlkars, light blue between these two groups are in the 17th century migrated Savolaxians.

    So it looks to me red and blue dots are ancient Savonian rulers of Ostro-natives. Famous Savo-Karelian motti tactics!

    South Ostrobothnia was populated in years 1000-1100, Birlkars moved from south to north around 1300 inspired by king (study made in JYU explains the Birlkarl network). Red dots (Savolaiskiila) and blue to Oulu are from the expansion in 16th and 17th centuries.
