- Is fearr an t-impeas ná an t-uaigneas?
A man's mouth often broke his nose.
Lock the stable door when the horse is gone.
Blood is thicker than water.
A Bad tenant is better out than in.
Wind to your tail.
Going with-out coming to you.
A fool and his money soon part.
Despise school and remain a fool.
Never too late to mend.
Ni húlach do duine an foghluim a chroidhe.
If is an obistacle which comes in the way and only for if we would be happy to-day.
Man's work is from sun to sun but woman's work is never done.
We never died a winter yet.
Más marbh dibh-sé is bríoghmhar an rud bheith beo.
Ní idir dá comhairle bios ach idir fiche.
The curse of Cromwell on you.
Fearr an maith atá na an dá maith do bhí,
Níl aon teantain mar do teantáin féin,
Ach an leigheam a thaghann an fogluim,
One good turn deserves another.
The dearest friends must part.
The early bird picks the worm.
One man's down-fall is another man's up rise.(continues on next page)
