    Proverbs
    The land for the people and the road for the bullock.
    The hard road for the old dog and the pup for the boiskin.
    To hell or Connaught.
    It's a long road that has no turnings.
    Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
    Silence is golden and talk is cheap.
    Don't lock the stable when the horse is gone.
    Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    Better late than never.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
