    (continued from previous page)
    Smooth water runs deep
    Blood runs thicker than water
    Its an ill wind blows but favours somebody

    Mind the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves

    Mercy is not too small to divide
    Do as you would be done by

    Is glas iad na cnuic i b-fad uainn
    Mól an óige is tiocfaidh sí
    Is goire cabhair Dé nó an Doras
    Ná bris reacht is ná déan reacht
    Is fearr go mall ná go bráth
    Is fearr sláinte no ór
    Ag díol meala is ag ceannac milseán
    Is fusa tuitim, na éirighe
    Ná mol is ná cáin tú féin
    Is treise dúthchas no oileamhaint
    Mol an obair an fear
    Ba mhinic a bhris béal duine a shrón

    Is maith an tiománuidhe an té a bhíos ar an g-claidhe

    Is minich bhí braimichín giobalach na chapaill chumasach

    Bean tinncéara agus bean tailliúra sin beirt nár reidhtigh riamh le na chéile.
