  1. Béaloideas - Old Sayings

    Share Share Post
    Six years are not seven

    There's many a slip between the cup and the lip

    There are as good fish in the sea as ever were caught.

    It takes the old dog for the hard race

    It takes a liar to have good memory

    Apples will grow again

    The early catches the early worm

    It is too late to share when all is spent

    Constant dropping wears away
