- Seana RáidhteTóg uaim é, is gan uaimeach é.
An té ná bhíonn laidir ní folár dó bheith glic.
A sgéal féin, sgéal gach éinne.
Castar na daoine ar a chéile, act ní castar na cnoc ná na sléibhte.
Mol Dia go mór is go minic.
Claidhe Gheimhread nó falla Samhrad.
Is feárr rith maith na droch sheasamh.
Is maith an t-iománaoí, an té a bhíonn ar an gclaide.
An té is feárr a thuileann é, is é is measa a bhfaigeann é.
Deire catha gleó, agus deire ceatha ceó.
Ní hé lá na gaoithe, lá na scolb.
Bíonn gach tosnú lag.
Níl aon teinteán mar do theinteán féin.
Nuair a bhíonn an cat amuigh bíonn an luch a rinnce.
Glór mór I gceann bheag.
Nuair is gann é an biadh, sead is fíall é roinnt.
Ní feárr bíad ná ciall.(continues on next page)
