    "Ná cuir aidneas ar sheanoir." "Fear an aon bhó fear gan aon bhó." Uair amháin bhí fear agus ní raibh acht aon bhó amháin aige. Fuair an bó seo bás agus sé sin an fáth gur dubhrad an seanfhocail sin.
    "Is olc an t-éan a shailfeadh a nead féin" Bhí fear uair amháin agus bí sé ag cainnt in agaidh a mhuinntir féin agus dubhairt ceann aca "Is olch an t-éan a shailfeadh a nead féin."
    "An té nach truaigh do chás na dean do gearrann leis" Is fearr obair na chainnt" "Is fearr éan sa láimh ná dhá ceann ar an crann."
