- (continued from previous page)Hard work was never easy. Dry bread was never greasy.
Your pocket is your friend.
A closed mouth and a wise head.
If the cap suits you wear it.
Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.
There is no story without a meaning.

Dún Gar
- The less said the easier mended.
Save for the rainy day.
The longer you live the more you hear.
Example is better than teaching.
Friends meet but hills dont.
Strike while the iron is red.
Cows far off have long horns.
Feast and your halls are crowded, fast and the world passes by.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Dont judge a man by his clothing.
Birds of a feather flock together.
United we win divided we fall.
A good word never broke a persons mouth.
Never count your chickens till they are hatched
Its a long road that has no turning.
out of the frying pan into the fire.(continues on next page) - Collector
