- Proverbs
My mother Mrs Egan told me some proverbs that she heard from her mother.
A stitch in time saves nine.
The early bird catches the worm.
For want of a nail, the shoe was lost, for want of a shoe, the horse was lost, for want of a rider the horse was lost, for want of a rider the army was lost, for want of an army the country was lost.
All is not gold that glitters. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Make hay while the sun shines.
Two heads are better than one.
An old fish is hard caught.Joseph Egan, Ruskey,
Co. Roscommon.
