    "A rolling stone gathers no moss."
    "Listen to the noise of the river and you will catch trout"
    "All is well that ends well"
    A good beginning is half the work.
    A good woman is better than a bad woman with a fortune.
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
    The best hurler is always on the fence.
    Perseverance brings success.
    When poverty comes in through the door love goes out through the window.
    Influence is better than money.
