    "Four things an Irishman cannot trust, a cow's horn, a horse's hoof, a dog's snarl, and and an Englishman's laugh."
    "Time is a good-story-teller,".
    "A good word never broke a person's mouth."
    "The truth never choked a man."
    "There is no feast till a roast and no torment till marriage."
    "A closed mouth and a wise head."
