    "Is luachmar an rudh an t-anam" arsa an tállúir, agus é ag rith ó'n ghanndal

    Is maith an fear an fonn
    Is liath gach othar t'réis a leigheas
    Níor dhóigh seana-chaith é féin riamh

    Dá mbeadh chuigheann ag an gcat, is minich a fluicheadh sé a bhas

    Imthigheann an t-am ar nós na gaoithe
    Úaim nó thaoidhe ní fhanann le h-aoine
    Tús maith leath-na h-oibre
    Is feárr bheith dhíomhaoin ná droch-gnótach
    Is olc an cearc na sgríobhann dhí féin
    Ní neart go chur le chéile
    Ní aon theinteán mar do theinnteán féin
    Is feárr uair an cluig ar maidin, ná dá uair úm tráthnóna
    Nuair a chruadhuigeann an slat is deachair é sníomh

    Is maith leis an gcath an t-iasg, ach ní maith leis a chosa fhluicheadh

    Ní h-é lán na ghaoithe lá na sgolbh
    Cad a sgríobhann an phúcha do leigheann sé féin é
    Is fheárr fhochal sa chúirt, ná púnt sa sparan
    Ní gádh do chur le céile
