  1. Béaloideas - Old Sayings

    Share Share Post
    The early bird gets the worm

    The old horse for the hard road

    It is a long lane but has a turn

    A angry eye sees far

    It is a foul wind but blows fair to someone

    Two eyes are better than one

    I bought apples from that creel before

    Still water runs deep

    Fools rush in where angels fear to tread

    They killed the two birds with the one stone
