   Sheila Reddan,
   Feigh, Eglish, Borrisokane.
   My aunt Mrs Reddan told me these old sayings and she got them from Thomas Carew, who died about 40 years ago.
   As often as the pitcher goes to the well 'twill get broken.
   Tis an ill wind blows nobody luck.
   He who laughs last laughs best.
   First come first served.
   When the cat is out the mice can play.
   Deep water runs smooth.
   Make hay while the sun shines.
   All's well that ends well.
   Between two stools you come to the ground.
   After a storm these comes a calm.
   You never miss the water 'till the well goes dry.
   When your neighbour's house is on fire mind your own.
   This the man will fix the flag at the door, but the woman will keep it there.
   They're lifeless that's faultless.
   Tis a long lane has no turn in it.
   Where there's a will there's a way.
