  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Richness never made (of home) a man nor wealth a happy home.
    Speak of the devil a he's sure to appear
    Hunger is good sauce.
    Live horse and you'll get grass.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
    Send the fool farther
    Never send a bare footed man looking for shoes
    A stitch in time saves nine
    A man never had a loaf but he'd get an knife to cut it.
    Marbh le taé & marbh gan é
    Its a bad wind that favours nobody
    Friends will meet but hills will never
