    A slip of the tongue is no fault of the mind.
    A watched pot never boils.
    Céad Míle Fáilte.
    When a person leaves a cup or plate or anything fall and breaks they say, "the harm of the year go with it." Another thing that is said when any animal dies "Welcome be Gods will."
    If a person who who wants to cross the field and sees a dangerous bull there they say "The longest way around is the shortest way home."
