- One thing at a time, and that well done, leads to excellence.
We know the worth of water when the well is dry.
Vice may prosper for a time, but its end is misery.
Extravagance in youth brings want in old age.
He that cannot bear a jest should not make one.
Half an hour to soon is better than half a minute too late.
Kindness calms anger and soothes misfortune.
Let your anger set with the sun but not rise with it.
Write injuries in dust but kindness in marble.
Friendship multiplies joys and divides griefs.
Cleaniness is next to Godliness.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
The early bird catches the first worm.
Look before you leap.
Kind words are the diamonds of everyday life.
The more we live the more we learn.
Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sé.(continues on next page)
