  1. Wine is sweet but it is sour to pay
    It's not the big men that reap the corn always
    God never closed a gap without opening another
    Wilful waste make woeful wants
    Poverty is no crime.
    Courage is half the battle
    Dont take the book by the cover
    Ná suidhe idir dhá stol [?]
    A word of earnest is as good as a speech
