    Eddie Lawless, 2 James's Green, Kilkenny.
    I got these proverbs from my mother. (41 yrs.)
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    A shut fist catches nothing.
    Many hands make light work.
    It is never too late to learn.
    A dig in the garden is worth two in the ribs.
    What begins well, ends well.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Hunger is a good sauce.
    April showers bring May flowers.
    It is a wise man that shuts his mouth.
    Patience is good; but perseverence is better.
    Honesty is the best policy.
