    Never say Holly (halloo) till you're out of the wood.
    It is not the big stones alone that build the Castle.
    O Told by W Sharpe Masterson's N.S who had them from his grandmother Mrs Sharpe Donaghmore 80 yrs
    A wise son makes a glad father.
    One swallow makes no summer.
    Dig deep while sluggards sleep and you shall have to sell and keep.
    All the months of the year will curse a fair February.
    Better is a dry morsel with joy than a house full with strife
