    Sea-fhocla
    Is fearr an mhaith ata nó an dá mhaithe a bhí
    As na tighthe beaga a théightir ins na caisleán.
    Is fada siar cuimhneamh páiste and sean duine
    Ní maith ó maoidhtear
    Nil fhios agat cá luigheann an bhróg ar an duine eile
    Ná caith do saoghal diomhaoineach
    Ní maith gach scéal a theigeann i bhfad
    Is olc é earrach an deagh gheimridh
    Tosnughadh maith leath na h-oibre
    A chomhairle féin ag mac Aine agus ní bhfuair ariamh níos measa.
    Is fearr an troid ná an t-uaigneas.
    Níl maith ag tóruidheacht an gadhair gan fhios agat a dhath.
    An té atá saor caith cloch.
    Is teann mada géar i ndoras a thighe féin.
    Is fearr leath-builín ná bheith gan arán.
    Ná tabhair cat no muc mhar imirce leat.
    Is olc í gealach an tSathairn.
    Aithním mo sgriobhadh thar mo thocais.
    Ni hé an sop in áit na scuaibe.
