  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    The thing nearest the heart is nearest the mouth.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Better a good run than a bad stand.
    Look before you leap.
    What you haven’t today you will have it to-morrow.
    One good turn deserves another.
    Health is better than wealth.
    What is not stolen will be found.
    A bend is better than a break.
    I got these proverbs from Michael O Brien
    Curraheen Hollyford Co. Tipp.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
