    Sayings
    A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures on a doctor's book.
    The man that advises you, is often the man you hate.
    A good run is better than a bad stand.
    Do not be swift to speak nor slow to learn.
    The world would not make a racehorse an ass.
    It is a small wind that would not bend a blade of grass.
    He comes without asking like the weather.
    However near a person's coat is to him his shirt is nearer
    Told by my father William Doody

    Co, Limerick.
