  1. Proverbs (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    Bíonn blas ar an mbeagán.
    Is é an duine an t-éadach.
    Tuigeann fear léinn leath-fhocal.
    Is fearr an t-ádh ná éirí go moch.
    Is fearr grádh ná faitchíos.
    Is fearr stuaim ná neart.
    Is fearr cara sa gcúirt ná bonn sa sparán.
    Ní chreidtear an fhírinne ón duine bréagach.
    An té nach múinfidh Dia é ní mhúinfaidh an saoghal é.
    Bíonn ceann caol ar an óige.
    Is fearr an troid ná an t-uaigneas.
    Is mór an truagh duine gan aoinne.
    Tosach maith leath na hoibre.
    Make hay while the sun shines.
    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    Do not buy a pig in a bag.
    Age is honourable and youth is valuable. Hills look green far away.
