    An rud a sgríobhanns an Púca leigheann sé féin é
    An rud nach mbaineann dhuit na bain dó
    An té nach bhfuil láidir ní ó dó a bheit glic
    An tú na gcuirfid san Earrach ní bainfidh sé sa bfoghmhar
    Áit giorra an chaith? tríd an gríosac.
    Tús maith leath na h-oibre
    Sé is sia a bhíos ag rithe sé is sia a bíos beó
    Is minic an fear fada óg ceannact fataí ón bhfear gearr
    Is dána gach mada ar a charn aoiligh féin
    Ba mhinic ciuncionntach sean-focla ar leanamhaint
    Ba mhinic comhairle maith ag amadán
    Is maith an badóir an té atá ar an talamh
    Is glas iad na cnuic i bfad uainn ach ní fiarach
    Is namha don céird gan í a fhoglum
    Miur? dod mháthair lute a deo námh
    Céard a déanfadh mach an caith acht lucha do mharbhiugadh
    Is fearr cara sa gcúirt na bonn sa sparán.
    Is goire cabhair Dé na an doras
    Ní déanfadh an domhan capall rása d’asal
    Dith ceille an rud abain na meara de Mhurchadh
    Is maith an capall a tairrgneas a carr féin
    Ní dhearna béal na dtost aimhleas
    Is binn béal in a thost
