- ProverbsA wet May and a dry June leaves the farmers whistling a merry tune.
When the old cock crows the young cock learns.
Always cut your coat according to your cloth.
As the twig is bent so is the tree.
Kind words are good but kind deeds are better.
Great minds think alike.
The early bird catches the worm.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Growing to the ground like a cows tail.
All on one side like Ballytivenan.
As crooked as a rams horn. As proud as a peacock.
As stiff as a mules hind leg.
As clumsy as an elephant. as graceful as a swan.
