  1. Old Sayings

    Share Share Post
    Ita Ryan. June 22nd 1938.
    Old Sayings.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    A friend in need is a friend in deed.
    While there is life there is hope.
    The early bird catches the worm.
    Never put off until to-morrow, what you can do today.
    Charity begins at home.
    Cows abroad wear long horns.
    The best hurlers are always on the ditch.

    Told by Mrs. Nora Ryan,
    Coolacokera,
    Ardagh,
    Co. Limerick.
