    Is giorra cabhar Dé dúinne na an doras.

    Níor druid Dia doras ariamh nach b'fosglochadh Sé ceann ceann eile.

    Is glas iad na cnuic i bhfad uainn.
    Ní bhíonn trean buan ach beireann buan buaidh.

    Nior chuir Dia duine ar an t-saoghal seo nar chuir sé a chuid leis.

    Dá olcas e an sioc is measa é an sneacta.
    Amharc sul a leimfidh tú.
    Is fada í an bealach nach bfuil tionntuigh ann.
    Is fearr éan in do láim na beirt ins an crann.
    Níor bhris focal mhaith fiacail ariamh.
    Mas fada an oidhche tiocfaidh an lá.
    Is fearr é an tslainte na an t-sainte.
