    Fághann iarraidh iarraidh eile
    Is maith an fear Dia cuireann sé dias ar an ngeamhar
    Ná ceannuigh bó bhán agus ná bí gan bó bhán
    Is annamh seisg siar
    Is mairg a bheadh olc agus é bocht

    Is minic a chuir beál na h-úaighe rud eicínt i mbéal na trúaighe

    Is minic a bhíonns ciúin cionntach
    Teach na sop sáidhte agus garrda dearc ? amuigh

    Mar bhfuil teine agat fheín déan do ghoradh leis an ngréin

    Ciall agus foighid an dá rud is fearr a bhí ag duine ariamh

    Is fearr an tsláinte ná na táinte
    Bíonn an aithrighe mhall contabhairteach
    Bíonn an t-ádh ar an bhfear a bhíonns ag ól
    Siubhal an chait ag an bpuisín
    Is fearr an troid ná an t-uaigneas

    Fághann ciaróg ciaróg eile (nuair a bhithear ag faghaíl locht ar fear atá dul a pósadh)

    Ná cuir do ladar i meadar gan suathadh

    Ná caith an t-uisge salach amach go mbidh an t-uisge glan istigh agat

    Caidir an coimhthigheach acht ná taobhaigh é
    Fear na bó san abar
    Fear na h-aon bhó fear gan aon bhó
    In aimsir an ghéibhinn féachtar an fhior-charaid
