    Every thing coming out of the treasure box and nothing going in to soon comes to the bottom
    Rain in May sunshine June makes the farmer whistle a merry tune.
    Rain in May and and war far away makes the Irish farmers jolly and gay.
    Of all the things that is nice to eat the potato is hard to beat.
    Fools names like their faces are all ways seen in public places.
    He that courts and runs away may live to court another may but he that courts and does not wed may find himself in court instead.
