  1. Proverbs

    Better late than never.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    One fool makes many but the old fool is worse than any.
    The old dog for the long road and the pup for the borheen.
    Its late to spare when all is spent.
    He who laughs first laughs worst, he who laughs last laughs best.
    It's better to be born lucky than rich.
    April, May, keep away from the sea.
    June, July, bathe until you die.
    Many a day in twenty years.
    Many a change from the cradle
    to the grave.
