- (continued from previous page)To the darkest sorrow there comes a morrow, a right to every wrong
The devil tempts the busy man, but the idle man tempts the devil
Half a loaf is better than no bread
One hours sleep is better than one days play
Love Daddy love Mammy, love yourself best of any
Brigid Ni Maṫgaim
Mullaċ Ná Siḋe
Dun-gar Matgaṁain
- Think twice before you speak once.
Vessels large may venture more, but little boats should keep near shore.
Fools make feasts + wise men eat them
Pretty feathers make pretty birds
Never spare for tomorrow what you can eat today
Beg from a beggar and you'll never be rich
Wilful waste makes woeful want.
A high church and a low steeple a poor house and poor people
Drive the nail while the iron is red.
Whatever you do, do it with your might. For things done by half are never done right(continues on next page) - Collector
