    near keep out of the way.
    Experience is a dear school but fools can't learn in any other.

    Is goire cabhair Dé ná an doras.
    If feárr fochal sa chúirt ná punt sa sparán.

    Is olc an gaoth ná séidean do dhuine éigin

    All that glitters is not gold.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in
