    Ní mhóthochadh duine trí céad buille ar dhruim duine eile
    Is dona an gaot nach seideann do duine éicint
    Fear gan námháid ní fiú mórán é
    Suidhe crom ach labair direach
    Is fearr ubh indiú na damh imbaireach
    Fásann níos mó i ngarraid ná mar a cuirtear ann
    Deire gach cumainn scaoilead deire gach cogaid sith
    Leagfadh cuag bheag crann mór
    Is mhairg do'n thigh go mbíonn an chearch ag glaodach ann agus an coileach ina tost
    Níl cnámh i dteangain acht briseann sí cnámha
    Ní thagann meirg ar an roth a bhíonn ag casadh
    Ní mait le Dia beal breagach
    Is fearr an t-ad ná éirigh go moch
    Is fearr feachaint romhat ná dá fheacaint do diaid
    Is goire cabhair Dé ná an doras
    Is glas iad na cnuic i bhfad uainn
    Is fearr go deireannach ná go brách
    Bíonn dhá croiceann ar an bhfirinne agus dhá thaobh ar an mbilleoig
