    Money makes the horse gallop whither he has shoes or not.
    Spake 'ide divil' and he is sure to appear.
    Hard work was never 'aisy' and dry bread was never 'grasey'.
    'Be' at it like two at a 'herrin'.
    Leave the light for the 'hins' to pick the 'skins'.
    You might as well be looking for a needle in a bundle of straw.
    Long ago in Ireland the people put a pot in the middle of the floor and a basket of potatoes on the top of it.
    Put the priest in the middle of the parish when they ment put the pan in the middle of the basket.
    Never count your chickens until they are hatched.
    Never sell your hen on a rainy day.
    Mrs Moran, Keeldra, Annaghmore, Mohill gave me these proverbs.
