    Briseann an duthchais tré suilibh an cait

    Live horse and you will get grass
    Birds of feather flock together
    Happy is the bride that the sun shines on
    Happy is the corpse that the rain falls on
    Man mind thy shop and thy shop will mind you
    The cow with the dirtiest tail bellows the loudest
    Spare the road and spoil the child
    Foreign cows wear long horns
    Many the merry going out made a sad coming in
    You miss the water when the well runs dry.
