    Is fánach ar eochracha an tíghe móir

    An té nach bhfághann an fheóil is mór is fiú leis an t-anbhruith
    Ní théidheann teas thar fhiuchadh
    Is feárr beag, deas ná mór gránna
    Bíonn cloch sgiorach ag doras gach tíghe móir
    Muigín mór fada agus bainne i bhfad siar
    Nuiar is mó an spraoi seadh is feárr leigeann as
    Is mairg a d'íosfadh luach an t-solais
    Go méaduigh Dia feóil bheó agus daoine slán agaibh
    Fágann béal na h-uaighe rud ag béal na truaighe
    Is námhaid í an cheird gan a fóghluim
    D'orduigh Dia conghnamh
    Is feárr duine a leagan ná beirt a' tóigeál
    Ní breághachta a gníos brochán acht min
    Ní breághachta a chuireas an pota a fiuchadh
    Nuair a imthígheann an ceánn imthígheann an greánn
    Is feárr go deireannach ná go bráth
    An sgian is géire feannadh sí
    Má's feáll filltear
    Nuair a bhíonn an bolg lán is mian leis an gcnámh síneadh
    Is fíor é an sgéal go dtighidh dhá sgéal

    Ná thabhair do bhreith ar an gcéad sgéal go mbeiridh an sgéal eile ort
