    The best of goalers are in the hedges.
    Idle hands some misvhief still, will ever findto do.
    God helps those who help themselves.
    Nature breaks out through the eyes of a cat.
    Its hard to kill a bad thing.
    You can't knock blood out of a turnip.
    The last straw breaks the donkey's back.
    Honesty is the best policy.
    The wildest of youths make the best of old men. Some me your company, and I'll tell you
    Fair without- foul within. what you are.
    Charity begins at home.
    A bad workman blames his tools.
    There's never a Friday that it doesn't rain, and never a Saturday that the sun don't shine
    While there's life there's hope.
    Man proposes, but God disposes.
    Happy is the bride, that the sun shines on.
    The darkest hour is before the dawn.
    Is minic caora dhubh san tréad is gile
    Is cume le muc duine gan seift
    Eist le crónán na h-abhann agus gheobhar breac.
    Ritheann an bitheamhnacht seacht ngluain.
    Caora mhór an t-uan i bhfad.
    Múineann gadh seift.
