- A shut mouth catches no flies.
A half a loaf is better than no bread.
A stitch in time saves nine.
It is a long road that has not a turn.
The hungry eye sees far.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A constant drop would wear a stone.
A bird in your hand is worth two on the bush.
A heavy purse makes a light heart.
March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.
A wet and windy May fills the barn with corn and hay.
Happy is the bride the sun shines on. Happy is the corpse the rains falls on. Time and tide waits for no man.
Dead men do not bite.
The truth is often better.Micheal Greaney, Kiltormer, Ballinasloe.
