  1. Seanfhocla

    Í gcóir an t-Sláinte
    1) Is fearr bídh ná ciall
    2) Is fearr sláinte ná cainnte ar cnuic
    3) Is fearr an t-sláinte ná an t-áinte
    4) Is fearr an t-sláinte ná an t-airgead

    Sean-Fhocla eile
    Is binn blas ar an mbeagán
    Is deachar sean-focla a sárugadh
    Is fearr lúabadh ná briseadh
    Ní béile búadh ná deoch
    Ní h-éadh lá na gaoithe lá na sgolb
    Ní mar síltear bítear
    Ní neart le cur le chéile
    Ní bíonn traen búan
    Ná déan reacht is ná déan reacht
    Bíonn an fírinne féin searbh
    Ní bhíonn saoi gan locht
    Is goire cabhair Dé ná an doras
    Is iad na muca ciúna itheas an triost
    An sguabh núa sguaibeann sí glan
    Is fearr marcaideacht ar gabhar ná cosaidheact dá réir
    Má's peacadh bheith buíde tá na mílte damanta
