An rud a sgríobhann an púcha léigheann sé féin é.
An té ná bhfuil láidir ní foláir do bheith glich.
Ní bhíonn tréan buan.

Leogfadh fuil, fuil ón ghorta acht ní leogfadh fuil fuil do dhortadh.
Fire spreads quickly of its own accord but water must be carried to extinguish it.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A glutton lives to eat but a wise man eats to live.
A burned child dreads the fire.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
