    Ní bhionn tréan ach beireann buan buaidh.
    Da olcas é an sioc is measa an sneachta.
    (?) bith ar treise leis lann bíodh aige an gadhar ban 'sa fiadh.

    Níor dhruid Dia doras ariamh nach bhfosglochadh sé ceann eile.

    Amharc sul a léimfidh tú.
    Is mairg a bhionn thios ag an céad bearnan.

    Nior chur Dia duine ar an t-saoghail seo ariamh nar chuir Sé a chuid leis.

    Níor bhris focal maith fiacal ariamh.
    Is fiú éan in do laimh beirt ins an crann.
    Is glas iad na cnuic i bhfad uainne.
    Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh se.
    An áit atá bó tá bean.
    Is féárr mall no go brathach.
    Is fada an casan nach bhfuil tionntuigh ann.
