   (continued from previous page)

   A stitch in time saves nine.
   Every hound is a pup until it hunts.
   It is not the big stones alone that build the castle.
   Ireland for a penny but where is the penny.
   It is not on one foot that Patrick came to Ireland.
   August needs the dew as men needs bread.
   Busy as a liar in company or a hen at a bag of oats.
   Rich as Ireland's soil or sweet as the blackbirds call in Harvest.
   It is not every day that Manus kills a bullock
   When you hear a man say he will buckle down and a certain task and then brake's his promise. We say that's the hen's journey to Scothland.
   As small as a wren's mouth.
