That's Scottish and dates back to 1721
Many a mickle makes a muckle?
Is that Scottish, it was on an old calendar and stuck in my memory.
I believe the correct wording is 'Many a little makes a mickle'. It is Scottish and 'muckle' is merely a variant of the dialectal 'mickel' which means a large amount.
The popular version on that old calandar makes no sense. Interesting init? Well like I said, you either love 'm or hate 'em. 
A mickle is a wee pickle i.e. a small amount but a muckle is a large amount so " many a mickle mak's a muckle " means a lot of a small amount adds up to a large amount, if you follow me.
This is a fine example where we all know what the proverb means, but the actual words say something completely different.
Quote from the Concise English Dictionary:
Usage: The forms mickle and muckle are, by origin, merely variants of the same (now dialect) word meaning ‘a large amount’. However, the alternative form of the proverb (originally a misquotation) has led to a misunderstanding that mickle means ‘a small amount’.
Ah but that is the Concise English dictionary - we Scots have an entirely different way of looking at things.
