   Honour is more noble than gold.
   He who is bad at giving lodgings is good at showing the road.
   Distant hills appear green.
   A sweet tongue is seldom without a sting at its root.
   If you get the name of rising early you can sleep to dinner time.
   A story without an author is not worth listening to.
   It is not always gold that glitters.
   Do not say everything you like lest you hear a thing you would not like.
   One man can bring a horse to the water but ten men can't make him drink.
   Out of sight, out of mind.
   Death does not come without a reason.
   Smooth water runs deep.
   Do not put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
   A wise head keeps a shut mouth.

   Deireadh gan luinge báitheadh
   As deireadh gach átha* loscadh
   Deireadh gach cuirme caitheamh
   As deireadh gach gaire osna.

   *N.B. átha means Lime kiln
