    Is fearr coitgalt ar dtús ná ar deireadh
    I ndomhan na ndall is rí fearr an t-súl
    Níl amhadán ar bith comh dána leis an t-sean amhadán
    Is fearr súl ar béál an cuain ná súl ar béal na h-uaighe
    Muna bhfuil teine agat féin déan do goradh leis an gréin

    Ag cur claide timcheall guirt cun an cuach a coinbhail amach

    An té a mbionn an t-adh air ar maidhin bíonn sé air san tráthnóna

    Is fearr súaimneas ar sop ná buaibh ar croc
    Nuair is cruaid don cailig caithfid sí rith
