  1. "There is no hearth like your own hearth."
    It is a bad wind does not blow good for some one.
    The windy day is not the day for to thatch.
    When the cat is out the mouse can play.
    The nearest to the church the farthest from God.
    The cows in Connaught wear long horns.
    When your neighbour's is on fire take care of your own.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    Sense does not come before age.
    You cannot put an old head on young shoulders.
