    (continued from previous page)
    You cant take blood from a turnip.
    You cant expect wool in a goats home.
    You wont find a bun in a china shop.
    Life is what you make it.
    You cant give what you have not got.
    You would catch more flies with spoon of honey than with a barrel of tar.
    What the eye wont see wont trouble the heart.
    A bird in your fist is worth two in a bush.
    When the cat is out the mouse can play.

  2. Proverbs

    You are as wild as a March hare.
    You're as busy as a bee in a tar-barrel.
    You're as giddy as an eel.
    If you dont sow in Spring you wont reap in harvest.

    “There was a man in Coolaney who used to sell fruit and flowers and when a customer would ask him "what sort of fruit are you selling"..”
