    pup for the path.
    Locking the stable door when the horse is stolen.
    What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
    Having high notions like the Kerry goats.
    The younger the chicken the sweeter the picking.
    The fat pig in the sty does not think of the hungry one going by.
    A man without learning and wearing good clothes is like a gold ring in a dirty pigs nose.
    Honesty is the best policy.
    Faint heart never won lady
    A crowing hen and a whistling woman should be left on the four cross-roads.
    Birds of a feather flock together.
    They're a chip off the same block.
    It's hard to put a young head on old shoulders.
    Anything worth doing at all is worth doing well.
    As hard as work is want is harder.
    You will never miss the water till the well runs dry.
    Look before you leap.
