    "Be kind to all,
    Be bound for none
    Trust but few
    And hold fast your own".
    - "The hook in the corn" - This is used variously in phrases which suggest the urgency of some work.
    e.g. - of a fussy person -
    "You would think by him that the hook was in the cornfield"
    "I'll do that job tomorrow even though the hook is in the cornfield"
    "Clann mhinistir nú geamhar iothalann" Though very promising at first, they never turn out well.
